## Summary

The Cabinet Office has concluded the procurement process for the "Manston Inquiry e-Disclosure Platform," a project aimed at developing software for sales, marketing, and business intelligence within the UK. This service-based contract was awarded to Epiq Systems Ltd through a framework call-off, eliminating the requirement for a prior publication of a competitive call for tenders. The procurement process, categorized under CPV 72212480, was completed following the UK Government's procurement regulations. The contract, valued at £124,061, was signed on 26th February 2026 and is currently active. Key characteristics of the services include document storage capabilities and the provision of e-disclosure functionalities alongside stringent security measures, suitable for the high sensitivity level required by the Cabinet Office.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in software development to grow their business, particularly those with capabilities in e-disclosure and business intelligence software. Firms with expertise in data handling and security, as well as those that can provide tailored technological solutions and interoperability with existing systems, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Additionally, businesses that have the capability to rapidly provide skilled professionals for Digital Records Services (DRS) will find ample growth prospects in such government contracts. Leveraging established frameworks and showcasing unique technical competencies could significantly boost a company’s portfolio and establish long-term relationships with governmental departments.
