## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions, a central government authority based in London, has completed a procurement process with the title "CCN001 - contract extension." This process involved a direct procurement method without competition, under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement process, which is at the award stage, aims to extend the Synergy Common Design Partner contract by five months. The contract for IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and Internet support, began on 1st November 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, with a gross value of £2,795,995.20.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering consulting and software development, to engage with government contracts. Although the extension was directly awarded to Veran Performance Limited, a London-based SME, there may be potential for other small and medium-sized enterprises in the sector to demonstrate capability and readiness for similar government contracts in the future. Engaging in such government projects can significantly contribute to business growth by enhancing credibility and providing a stable revenue stream.
