The procurement process led by the Cabinet Office, located in London, United Kingdom, focused on the "Provision of Support and Maintenance for the Central Digital Platform." This contract falls under the industry category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support, which are critical for maintaining government digital infrastructure. The procurement utilised a limited negotiation method without prior publication of a contract notice, driven by extreme urgency. The contract, valued at £8,000,000, was awarded to Goaco and was signed on 17 January 2025. The process is in the award stage, with the contract status marked as complete, and the related lots were set to be delivered across the UK.
