Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "Architecture as a Service," classified under IT services, has been procured by The Pensions Regulator, headquartered in Brighton, England. This procurement process follows a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. With a total value of £465,000, the contract period spans from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2026, covering delivery locations in London and Brighton. The tendering stage was completed on 27th August 2025, and the contract was awarded on 1st September 2025 to Envitia, a large-scale organisation based in West Sussex, as indicated in the award notice published on 2nd September 2025.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for firms with expertise in IT services, particularly those capable of offering consulting, software development, and support solutions. While the contract itself has already been awarded to a large supplier, future opportunities may arise for businesses with the scalability and technical capability to engage in similar high-value projects. Although this specific contract does not cater to SMEs or VCSEs, firms looking to expand their portfolio in the IT sector could benefit from targeting similar framework agreements and selective procurement processes. Engaging with entities like The Pensions Regulator can provide significant business growth through collaboration on government-backed initiatives.
