Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured supporting passenger checks services, classified under IT services covering consulting, software development, internet and support. The requirement supports passenger-checking activity and includes additional services from the incumbent supplier. Delivery may cover the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. The service is therefore suited to organisations able to provide technology-enabled passenger-checking support across multiple jurisdictions and operational environments. The named buyer is the Home Office, based in London. The requirement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and is specifically associated with the continuation and extension of an established passenger-checking contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 September 2026 to BAE Systems Applied Intelligence Limited. The award value is £4.99 million, while the anticipated potential value for the extended arrangement is £14.98 million excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 July 2027. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional services from the incumbent supplier. The arrangement introduces and exercises a six-month extension option. The tender submission deadline was 31 January 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The published procurement information does not set out separate lots or an award-scoring breakdown.

This award shows established demand from the Home Office for large-scale, technology-enabled passenger-checking support delivered across the UK and international locations. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in IT consulting, software development, internet-based services and operational support, combined with the resilience to support security-sensitive passenger-checking activity. Experience of working with central government, integrating with existing systems and processes, managing services across several jurisdictions, and maintaining continuity during contract extensions would be commercially relevant. The incumbent and successful supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the requirement is geared towards substantial delivery capacity rather than a small standalone assignment. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate reliable service management, appropriate technical expertise and the ability to provide additional services within an established framework route.
