Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) commissioned specialist product development and user experience services for its Data-Enabled GOV.UK App Experience programme. The work covered a Data Experience Framework, service maps, decision-support tools, tested prototypes and reusable interaction patterns. It is an IT and digital services requirement focused on improving how data is experienced and used through GOV.UK app services. Delivery locations include the United Kingdom and a London postal location, as well as the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and elsewhere worldwide.

The procurement is complete and awarded. DSIT used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026. The contract was awarded to Projects by IF Ltd on 30 September 2026 for £660,000. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 23 April 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £660,000. The award is active. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates DSIT’s demand for specialist digital product development and user experience work connected to GOV.UK app services. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to show that it can develop data-focused service frameworks and maps, create decision-support tools, test prototypes, and produce interaction patterns that can be reused. The work spans both product development and user experience, so suppliers need capabilities across those activities rather than a narrow digital delivery offer. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and was awarded through a framework call-off, indicating the route used for this requirement.
