This is the latest instalment of an exclusive feature analysing the UK’s biggest public sector tech deals. In partnership with data analysis firm Tussell, we drill down into the top five most valuable tenders and awards from the previous week, and take stock of which tech firms have won the biggest share of the public sector pie.

The Crown Commercial Service has issued the biggest tender of the week – a £130m contract to replace the Coastguard’s radio infrastructure. One of the key components of the network, which enables emergency assistance to vessels within British seawater, is about to be withdrawn from the market. Bidders have until 27 July to apply.
