Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions, through its Synergy Programme, initiated a public procurement process seeking a Technical Partner to support the ERP technology deployment. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category, classified with the CPV code 72000000. An open procedure above threshold was utilised, culminating in the award stage on 13th October 2025. The procurement attracted Capgemini UK plc as the successful supplier, with a contract valued at £22,300,000. The contract commences on 24th November 2025 and continues until 31st December 2027, primarily focusing on design, technical support, testing, and data reporting within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting and software development to provide high-level technical support and solutions under an ERP framework. While the award has been made to a large supplier, this procurement reflects the demand for comprehensive IT services, encouraging SMEs in the IT sector to enhance capabilities and competitiveness for future bids. Despite the current non-suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, similar future tenders might incorporate various delivery categories that facilitate partnerships or subcontracting opportunities, enabling diverse business growth opportunities within the public sector IT landscape.
