Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the eDisclosure service aimed at supporting the Inquiries Response Unit was conducted by the Home Office, a central government authority based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the category of services and the industry sector involves documentation services, with a CPV code of 79131000. This process is currently at the award stage, with the contractual agreement for the service set to span from 30th April 2026 to 29th April 2030. Given the urgent need for such services before the launch of a new inquiry in March 2026, the procurement was executed directly without a competitive tender owing to time constraints. The award to Anexsys Limited has a gross value of £370,000 with the contract expected to be signed by 24th April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the documentation services sector, particularly those with capabilities in managing electronic and paper records for public inquiries. The contract was directly awarded to Anexsys Limited due to their existing technical capability and readiness to meet the Home Office's urgent requirements without the delay involved in onboarding a new supplier. Large enterprises with similar technical capabilities in documentation services and a robust infrastructure would be ideal candidates for future tenders, especially when dealing with urgent government requirements. There is room for growth as businesses develop expertise and capacity to provide timely and efficient solutions to meet pressing public sector demands.

Notice Title

eDisclosure service for Inquiries Response Unit

Notice Description

Disclosure service for both electronic and paper records to support the Home Office's response to public inquiries, which cannot be done in-house due to a lack of technical software, and a lack of capacity and capability in resource.

Procurement Information

There is not enough time to run the tender process and then set up the technical capabilities to onboard a new supplier for this work. New inquiry is due to launch at the end of March 2026 and there is a significant risk that the department must provide information in a matter of weeks, which would not be enough time to run a competitive tender. Anexsys has the specific technical capability we require to transfer our information to them. Onboarding a new supplier and managing our technical integrations would take time that we do not have and incur unnecessary costs.
