Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions procured public certificate services for SSL Certificates 2026. The requirement concerns the supply of SSL certificates and associated public certificate services, supporting secure internet and digital services. It is classified under IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support (CPV 72000000), although the procurement category is recorded as goods. Delivery is linked to Manchester, at M2 3AA, and the wider North West area of England. The buyer is the Department for Work and Pensions. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale with a relevant certificate supply or public certificate services offering may regard the requirement as aligned with their capabilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The Department for Work and Pensions selected Network Integration Techologies Ltd T/A ITogether on 23 July 2026. The award value is £354,963.34 including the stated currency of GBP. The wider estimated procurement value was £670,000, with a minimum estimated value of £354,963.34. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2028. It was conducted as a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded requirement is for SSL Certificates 2026 and public certificate services. The award is recorded as active, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Department for Work and Pensions for SSL certificates and public certificate services at a substantial departmental scale. It also shows that the buyer uses a framework call-off route rather than a standalone open competition, so businesses targeting similar work would need access to the relevant framework or a route into future framework arrangements. A credible competitor would need to supply public SSL certificates reliably and support the buyer’s internet and digital-service requirements throughout a multi-year contract. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist certificate providers and IT service businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate dependable delivery, appropriate technical support and the capacity to serve a major government department.
