Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions bought solution integration services for an enterprise productivity platform. The appointed supplier was required to define, design, implement and operationalise an Enterprise Productivity Governance Capability in the department’s cloud environments. This is an information technology services contract covering consulting, software development, internet and support activities (CPV 72000000). Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and locations elsewhere in the world. The requirement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns governance and integration across an enterprise productivity platform rather than a standalone software product or routine IT support service.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. DWP used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. IBM United Kingdom Limited received the award on 20 August 2026 for £2,565,054. The awarded contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award covers the full requirement as one procurement item. The contract value and award value are both £2,565,054, inclusive of the stated currency, GBP. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off process; the published information identifies the selected supplier and outcome but does not set out separate scoring criteria.

This award shows demand from DWP for suppliers able to provide end-to-end enterprise productivity governance and solution integration in cloud environments. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine consultancy, architecture and design, software development, implementation, operational support and governance expertise, rather than offer only one technology component. Experience of integrating productivity platforms into complex public-sector cloud estates would be relevant, alongside the ability to establish operating models, controls and governance that can be sustained after implementation. The scale and breadth of delivery favour suppliers with sufficient technical capacity, multidisciplinary teams and the ability to work across UK and wider locations. SMEs are explicitly considered suitable, so a specialist or consortium with these capabilities may be well placed.
