Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured data life-cycle management, engineering and support services. The work covers the full data life cycle, from discovery and design through build, testing and deployment, alongside ongoing engineering and support. Each phase is delivered as a separate statement of work, and the services are intended to support multiple Ministry of Justice business domains, including headquarters and the Legal Aid Agency. This is a software development services requirement. Delivery may be required across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international locations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 4pm. The contract was awarded on 24 July 2026 to PA Consulting Services Limited for £9.8 million. The contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2030. The award covers the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The Ministry of Justice is the buying organisation. The opportunity was classified as services, with software development as the principal classification, and was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for end-to-end data engineering and lifecycle capability across several business domains. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable Ministry of Justice work would need to combine discovery and service design with data build, testing, deployment, engineering and operational support. Credibility would depend on managing distinct statements of work while maintaining consistent delivery across headquarters and Legal Aid Agency environments. The scale and multi-domain nature of the requirement favour organisations with substantial delivery capacity, mature software development practices and the ability to support work across UK and international locations. Experience of framework call-offs and complex government technology environments would also be commercially relevant.
