Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), based in London, has completed the award stage of a procurement process titled "Get your state pension - Identity Verification," which falls under the IT services category. The process, initiated through a selective procurement method, involved a call-off from a framework agreement. This contract aims at the validation and verification of pension payment bank accounts, including additional checks for those failing initial validation. The awarded contract, valued at £282,140.14, runs from 27th March 2026 to 26th March 2027, with the full tender value indicated at £423,219.21. The successful supplier is TransUnion International UK Limited, a large-scale company. The award was formally published on 17th April 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in IT consultancy, software development, and financial services, to engage with public sector contracts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore such opportunities, as suitability for these types of entities has been considered in the procurement process. Engaging in projects like this can lead to further growth through expanded service offerings and enhanced visibility in the sector, especially for those well-versed in identity verification, internet solutions, and associated support services. This engagement could pave the way for collaboration with government agencies and larger firms alike, expanding their portfolio and reach in the UK market.
