UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Legacy Prison Systems Replacement" project has been completed by the Ministry of Justice, located in London, United Kingdom. This initiative focuses on digital delivery services and falls under the IT services and public authority central government industry category. The procurement method used was selective, specifically an award under a framework, which ensures a competitive process. The award stage was reached on 7th July 2026, with a contract period starting on 20th July 2026 and ending on 19th July 2029. Additionally, there is an option for a 12-month extension, should it be required. The supplier awarded this contract is Version 1 Solutions Limited, based in Birmingham, with a contract value of £40 million (excluding VAT). The main delivery location is within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for companies specialising in IT services, such as consulting, software development, and support. A business well-suited to compete would be one that can provide comprehensive digital solutions for large-scale technology replacements. The successful completion of such a high-value project could greatly enhance a company's portfolio and standing within the government procurement space, potentially leading to more contracts with central government authorities. Furthermore, businesses that are capable of handling complex, long-term projects and have a track record of delivering reliable IT services stand to gain significantly from participating in such tenders.
