Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for the provision of a "Digital Sociologist Service" to ANDigitalLimited. The contract, valued at £46,800 GBP, falls under the industry category of Computer support and consultancy services. The procurement method used was direct through a Single tender action (below threshold) approach. The tender period ended on March 23, 2023, with the contract period running from March 27, 2023, to September 27, 2023. The Ministry of Justice, based in London, England, initiated this procurement process, creating an opportunity for businesses to offer expertise in digital services to support the implementation of the Modern Lasting Powers of Attorney (MLPA) project.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those with expertise in digital services, to engage with the Ministry of Justice for the delivery of the MLPA project. The contract, tailored for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations, requires capabilities in integrating services with other entities such as the Passport office, DVLA, DWP, Post Office Easy ID, and Experian. Businesses that can provide digital channel solutions and identity verification services are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. By participating in this procurement process, businesses have the potential to contribute to enhancing safeguards and accessibility within the LPAs system, supporting the Ministry of Justice's goal of achieving sustainability and flexibility with the MLPA service.

Notice Title

Digital Sociologist Service

Notice Description

The aims of MLPA are to improve safeguards, increase access to LPAs, and achieve sustainability for OPG. When implemented, MLPA will deliver a new LPA service with a digital channel for making and registering an LPA as well as a paper alternative for those who cannot, or will not, use the digital channel. Identity verification for the donor and certificate provider are intended to strengthen safeguards in the modernised system when combined with other measures. Identity checking is thus one important element of MLPA. OPG does not have the specialisms to deliver this work that was an outcome of the Alpha stage as identified by a digital sociologist and the team. By using a company who can provide all the expertise that is required for the delivery of this work (including the integrations and agreements with other services e.g Passport office, DVLA, DWP, Post Office Easy ID, Experian) this will allow us to engage with a company who would be able to provide all the necessary services and skills to achieve the outcome, allowing MLPA sustainable versatility.
