Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office has initiated a tender for the HMPO Document Management Services project. As the contracting authority, they seek services within the administrative and IT sectors to handle document management for passport applications. This project encompasses sorting, validating, scanning, and storing documents, with a notable requirement for ease of access upon request. The procurement process is segmented into a five-stage competitive flexible procedure, aiming to award the contract worth £140 million by October 2026. Submissions are to be completed via the Jaggaer portal, with expressions of interest required by 30th July 2025, and the planned contract period running from November 2026 to November 2030, with possible extensions.

Notice Title

HMPO Document Management Services

Notice Description

His Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO), part of the Home Office, as the Contracting Authority, is reviewing potential options for future Document Management services. Overview of the Service: HMPO requires its customers who apply for a new passport, a replacement passport, or a passport renewal, to send in supporting documentation (hard copies) as part of their application. The Document Management Service requirement at a high level is to: - Sort inbound mail into various streams; - Validate and, where required, verify the authenticity of documents contained within each application; - Scan documents to a standard that allows for easy reading of data on documents; - Categorise documents into streams as defined by HMPO; - Store and retrieve documents upon return requests issued by HMPO. Please note, three Requests for Information (RFIs) have been run as part of market engagement to inform this procurement. This market engagement was conducted under the previous Public Contract Regulations (PCR) 2015 which is the reason why a Preliminary Market Engagement notice under the new regulations has not been published for this procurement.

Invitation To Tender (ITT) - Following the Dialogue stage, Bidders will be invited to formally respond to both a quality questionnaire and financial pricing model, allowing the Authority to assess technical and commercial elements of bids. Bidders will be down selected at this point ahead of the next stage. 4. Negotiation - Down selected Bidders will be invited to commercial negotiation sessions with the Authority focussed on pre-selected elements of bids. 5. Best and Final Offer (BAFO) - Following the Negotiation stage, Bidders will be invited to submit a BAFO. Following this stage, the winning Bidder will be awarded.
