Situated in Swindon, UK, the buying authority is a public sub-central government entity. This tender process, completed using an open procedure, commenced with a tender notice published in August 2025, and the framework agreement was signed on 24th October 2025, with the contract period running until the end of September 2028, with a possibility for a one-year extension. The procurement method included both with and without reopening of competition, involving a contract value up to £420,000. This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in UX design, user research, and digital marketing.
