Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned specialist technical support for the National Data Library’s Household Income Kickstarter programme. The work supports the design, assurance and development of a Secure Operational Environment for a household income dataset and related delivery activity. Services cover data protection and ethics advice, security architecture, threat modelling, secure-by-design assurance, programme assurance and mobilisation support. This is technical consultancy and support for a secure data environment, rather than the supply of a dataset or general IT services. The stated delivery locations span the United Kingdom and several international locations; no single delivery site is identified.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to esynergy Solutions Limited. DSIT used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 17 August 2026, with the contract running from 18 August to 31 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £177,400. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates DSIT’s demand for specialist support to establish and assure secure operational environments for sensitive household-income data. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need credible expertise across data protection and ethics, security architecture, threat modelling and secure-by-design assurance, alongside programme assurance and delivery mobilisation capability. The work combines technical security design with governance and practical delivery support, so a supplier would need to connect these disciplines rather than offer narrowly scoped infrastructure advice. The selected supplier was a large organisation, while the opportunity was also marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller firms with the relevant specialist capability may be credible competitors. Experience supporting secure data programmes and coordinating assurance through mobilisation would be directly relevant.
