Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) procured AWS and Stat-Xplore services, described as an AWS and Stat-Xplore service. This is an IT services requirement, covering consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The listed delivery location is Blackpool, with the requirement also covering the United Kingdom and a range of overseas locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the rest of the world. The DWP is the buyer. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named service scope is concise, so the opportunity is most relevant to businesses able to provide the required AWS and Stat-Xplore service rather than general IT support without those capabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. DWP used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 18 September 2026 at 17:00. The estimated procurement value ranged from £421,900 to £843,800. BedigitalUK Ltd was awarded the contract on 21 September 2026 for £421,900. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. The award information identifies one supplier and one award. No evaluation criteria or weighting are recorded in the supplied procurement details, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates DWP demand for a combined AWS and Stat-Xplore service, delivered through a framework call-off and at a substantial service-contract scale. BedigitalUK Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller supplier can deliver this requirement. A credible competitor when the requirement next comes to market would need demonstrable capability to provide the AWS and Stat-Xplore service together, with the capacity to support delivery across Blackpool and the wider listed geographic scope, including international locations. Relevant experience in IT consulting, software development, internet services and support would align with the stated service category. The award gives suppliers in this specialist service area evidence of the buyer, route to market and type of integrated provision that satisfied the requirement.
