Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is currently engaged in a tender process for IT services, focusing on consulting, software development, and Internet support, specifically aimed at enhancing the Health Transformation Programme in the UK. This procurement, with the title "4916666", is in the award stage following a contract uplift approved on March 3, 2022, increasing the total contract value from £3,916,667 to £4,916,667. The contract period commenced on January 25, 2021, and is set to conclude on January 24, 2023. This initiative involves transitioning from the current supplier, BJSS, to ensure smooth service delivery and knowledge transfer by mid-2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in health-related digital solutions and citizen appointment management systems. Companies that can demonstrate strong capabilities in software development and consulting within the health sector will be well-positioned to compete effectively. The procurement approach adopted by DWP may also favour suppliers who can offer a smooth transition process and the ability to rapidly provide and integrate new services to meet the demands of the Health Transformation Programme.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

A service is required to provide outcomes for the Health Transformation Programme, specifically around managing citizen appointments for Health Assessments and how agents view the citizens data. A Digital Outcomes Contract was awarded to BJSS in January 2021 to provide this service. This contract was for 24 months. The contract was recompeted in December 2021 as the contract had been a success and demand for the services outstripped the overall contract value. A new supplier was selected in January 2022. To ensure we transition effectively to the new supplier and protect delivery for the Health Transformation Programme, this contract has been uplifted by PS1,000,000 from PS3,916,667 to PS4,916,667. There is no requirement to extend the duration of the Contract, which runs to 24th January 2023. The uplift in value will facilitate handover and knowledge transfer from the incumbent to the new supplier. The new supplier is expected to be fully transitioned to continuing delivery of the service by end of May 2022/beginning of July 2022.
