Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured programme support for its Workplace Services Programme and related business-as-usual activity. The requirement covers project management consultancy and wider IT support, including migrating data from legacy platforms, discovering and testing rules and models, and publishing them to relevant business areas and new supporting platforms. The work supports the department’s move away from the DSP as part of its longer-term data strategy, including migration of rules and scans and testing before full availability to IRIS. The procurement is classified as project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000), with associated IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. Delivery is for DWP’s workplace services programme in the UK.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, using a framework-based route. The evaluation criteria were technical quality, weighted 60%; price, 30%; and social value, 10%. Three active awards were made for the single requirement: Scott Logic Ltd received a contract worth £6,468,315, signed on 14 September 2024; Scott Logic Ltd received a separate contract worth £7,168,315, signed on 14 September 2024, with a period from 15 September 2025 to 12 March 2027; and Ernst and Young LLP received a contract worth £13,971,450, signed on 20 September 2023, running from 21 September 2023 to 20 September 2027. The Scott Logic contract was increased by £700,000 excluding VAT, and the EY contract includes a second one-year extension and a £2,061,900 budget increase.

For a future requirement with DWP, credible competitors would need to combine programme management consultancy with practical data and technology delivery. Relevant capability includes migrating information from legacy platforms, transferring rules and scans, developing or applying data models, carrying out structured testing, and publishing reliable outputs to business users and new platforms. Suppliers should be able to support dependencies and delays across a complex workplace-services programme while maintaining continuity of critical services. Experience of business-as-usual support alongside programme delivery would be relevant, as would the ability to work with departmental data strategies and systems such as DSP and IRIS. The award outcome indicates that both a specialist SME consultancy and a large professional-services firm were capable of satisfying the requirement, so bidders would need demonstrable technical delivery, programme governance and social-value capability.

As this was procured on a framework there was no F02 notice this option was chosen as a workaround to Atamis.
