Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process in question is managed by the Home Office, situated at 2 Marsham Street, London. The contract, entitled "HO Second Further Extension SSCL/BPO", involves the extension of the Shared Services Connected Ltd (SSCL) BPO contract, classified under the business and management consultancy services category. The procurement method used is an extension to an existing contract, which does not cater specifically to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The process is in the award phase, with the award status being active since 24 April 2025. Key dates include the tender period end on 14 May 2025, and the contract period running from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2028, covering services primarily in the London area.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for large-scale consultancy firms experienced in handling business process outsourcing contracts within the public sector. The contract's substantial value, initially set at £72,700,000, is indicative of both the scope and the robust financial engagement expected with SSCL. Firms with a solid track record in offering comprehensive payroll management and related services to government bodies would be particularly well-suited to engage in this ongoing collaboration, given the existing relationship with the awarded supplier.
