UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice procured the design, build and transition of a digital services platform for probation services. This is a technology services requirement covering IT consulting, software development, internet services and support, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The work is intended to provide and transition a digital platform supporting probation-service operations. The procurement was structured as a single requirement. It is relevant to digital transformation providers, software development businesses, platform specialists, systems integrators and technology consultancies able to design and implement public-sector digital services at national scale. Suppliers would need to combine platform delivery with transition capability and ongoing support for a central government customer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tecknuovo Ltd on 21 July 2026. It used a competitive selective procedure under a framework agreement, with one completed lot. The award and signed contract are valued at £25 million excluding VAT and £30 million including VAT. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2029, with an optional extension of up to 12 months, allowing a maximum period to 11 August 2030. The award record gives a separate service period from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2029, also extendable to 2 August 2030. Performance is measured quarterly against delivery of agreed outcomes, delivery to due dates and timely social-value commitments.

Although this contract has been awarded, it indicates substantial Ministry of Justice demand for probation digital-platform delivery and transition. A credible future competitor would need to show strong capabilities in digital service design, software development, platform implementation, systems integration and transition into operational use across the United Kingdom. The requirement favours suppliers able to manage complex public-sector delivery, translate statements of work into accepted outcomes, meet agreed milestones and quality tolerances, and provide dependable internet and support services. Evidence of delivering work on time, managing transitions and reporting performance would be important. Suppliers should also be able to make specific, measurable social-value commitments and demonstrate the capacity to support a large, multi-year central-government programme.
