Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "DWP People & Capability Insights Licenses" was awarded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), focusing on the provision of information technology services. This procurement, completed on 5 March 2021, involved a single tender action method with a total value of approximately £95,000. The contract covers the period from 31 March 2021 to 30 May 2022, and the services are intended to improve recruitment processes through access to real-time LinkedIn data. The geographical delivery addresses for the service include locations across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the wider United Kingdom.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in technology services, particularly those specialising in data analytics and recruitment solutions. Companies that can deliver innovative software tools or consultancy services leveraging LinkedIn insights may find themselves well-positioned to benefit from similar government contracts in the future. While the contract was awarded directly to LinkedIn, future opportunities may arise for SMEs and VCSEs that can demonstrate effective service delivery in this space.
