Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions procured project management consultancy services to support its Workplace Services Programme and related programme and business-as-usual activity. The work covers migration of data from legacy platforms, including discovering, testing and publishing business rules and models for relevant business areas and new supporting platforms. Delivery is associated with the Department’s workplace services activity. The requirement is a service for a large public-sector transformation programme, combining programme support with business and technology change work. It would suit consultancies able to work across programme management, data migration, business analysis and the transition from legacy systems to new platforms.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The stated award basis was price. One supplier, Ernst and Young LLP, was awarded the contract. The contract value is £6,951,700, in GBP, and it was signed on 20 September 2023. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement record refers to a modification under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. One lot is recorded in the process, although its lot status is cancelled; the active award and contract relate to that lot. One bid was recorded. The buyer is the Department for Work & Pensions.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Work & Pensions for substantial consultancy support around workplace services transformation. A credible future supplier would need to manage complex public-sector programmes and provide practical support alongside business-as-usual activity. Relevant capability includes migrating data from legacy platforms, analysing and documenting business rules and models, testing those outputs, and publishing them for use by business teams and new technology platforms. Suppliers should be able to combine programme management with business analysis, data and technology change expertise, and coordinate delivery across affected business areas. The requirement also indicates that the buyer values a supplier able to support both transformation activity and the operational adoption of new platforms.
