Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator, based in Brighton, has completed a selective procurement process through a framework agreement for a De-Duplication Tool, categorised under IT services such as consulting, software development, and Internet support. The procurement process culminated in the award stage on 27th March 2026, after tender submissions closed on 25th March 2026. The contract is valued at £36,000 and will run from 27th March 2026 to 26th March 2028. The project locations include South East England with specific delivery to postal code BN1 6AF, aligning with the organisation's needs within the IT services industry.

This tender presents growth opportunities for large businesses specialising in IT services, particularly in software development and consulting, as it requires sophisticated de-duplication capabilities. Although the suitability criteria do not favour SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale companies with the capability to meet framework agreement requirements could benefit significantly from this engagement. Data8 Limited, the awarded supplier, would likely provide insights into ensuring service delivery aligns with the needs of government agencies, presenting further business expansion possibilities in this sector.
