Summary of the contracting process

The Business Statistical Register Transformation contract awarded by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) involves the design and development of a new statistical business register service. This procurement, classified under software packages and information systems, includes a variety of industry-specific classifications related to IT services, software development, data services, and computer-related services. Located in Newport, Wales, the procurement followed a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. While the tender deadline passed on 5 December 2025, the contract commences on 1 April 2026 and concludes on 31 March 2028, with a substantial value of £8,400,000 GBP. The supplier selected for this service is CGI IT UK LTD, a large-scale organisation based in London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in cloud services, agile development, and IT consultancy. Businesses proficient in software programming, data services, and internet solutions stand to gain from involvement in such transformative projects. As it focuses on developing a new service for ONS, suppliers with expertise in statistical analysis and innovative IT solutions can leverage this to expand their portfolio, secure long-term collaboration with a major governmental body, and enhance their reputation within the public sector. However, the tender is not specifically geared towards small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary and community sector organisations, indicating it is best suited for larger firms with robust infrastructure and an established presence in the IT consultancy market.
