When does it re-tender?

The current term is expected to end around July 2024. The re-tender competition typically opens in the months before that date, so the practical window to prepare a bid is roughly October 2023 onward. It was awarded July 2020 for a 4-year term.

Closed to new call-offs July 2024. A successor is planned but not confirmed as of August 2026.

How to prepare a bid

• Confirm the exact re-tender dates against the source notice, frameworks are frequently extended.
• Get your accreditations in order early: Cyber Essentials, insurances, financial evidence and relevant policies are commonly required and take weeks to assemble.
• Prepare case studies mapped to this framework's scope (CPV codes below) so your response is ready when the tender opens.
• Set an alert now so you're notified the moment the contract notice publishes, rather than discovering it mid-window.
