Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) procured a replacement intranet: a new site requiring design, development, implementation, ongoing support and maintenance. This is a digital services requirement covering the complete lifecycle of an organisational intranet, rather than a purchase of web servers alone. The buyer is ONS, based in Newport, Wales, and the requirement is described as being delivered in the United Kingdom. The arrangement is for one supplier to provide the solution and continuing services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. ONS selected Torchbox Ltd, an SME, on 14 September 2026. The award value is £126,000. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2029. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, with a single supplier arrangement. The response deadline was 3 August 2026. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond identifying the opportunity as suitable for SMEs.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers specialising in intranets and digital workplace platforms: ONS combined site design and development with implementation, ongoing support and maintenance in a single-supplier requirement. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver the full service lifecycle, not just build or host a website, and to sustain the solution through support and maintenance. The route used was a call-off from G-Cloud 14, so experience supplying through that framework would be directly relevant. The selected provider was an SME, and the buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs. This is evidence that a supplier of SME scale can be selected for this type of ONS work.
