Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions has completed a procurement process titled "Jobs and Careers Service Prototype", which involves delivering a proof of concept for a mobile-friendly web application focused on jobs and careers. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement within the IT services industry (CPV Code: 72000000). It covers various locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The procurement process has concluded with the award stage, announced on 7th August 2025, with the awarded contract period from 30th July to 30th September 2025. The tender value stands at £170,145 GBP.

This opportunity paves the way for businesses specialising in IT consultancy, software development, and internet services to gain traction by collaborating with government entities. While the awarded supplier, Deloitte LLP, demonstrates that large-scale enterprises can effectively compete, the tender also highlights its suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Businesses with capabilities in delivering responsive and scalable web applications particularly stand to benefit and grow by participating in such government-led digital transformation projects.
