UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice bought digital and technology delivery services for its Technology Operations change management programme. The work is classified as information technology services and is intended to support technology operations change through digital and technology delivery. The contract covers delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as one lot, with the Ministry of Justice as the buyer. The selected supplier is Cognizant Worldwide Limited. This requirement is relevant to technology service providers able to supply digital and technology delivery support to a central government department, particularly those with the capacity to provide appropriately skilled delivery resources and respond as the buyer’s needs change.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Cognizant Worldwide Limited. The award was made on 28 July 2026, and the contract was signed on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £7.5 million excluding VAT (£9 million including VAT). The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 2 September 2028, with an optional six-month extension, to a maximum end date of 2 March 2029. It was conducted competitively using a selective process under a framework agreement and comprised one lot. Contract performance includes timely draft statements of work, monthly reporting, staff capability, and proposing candidates for new delivery teams or capabilities within 10 working days of a request. Social value commitments are also measured.

For suppliers considering similar future Ministry of Justice requirements, this award shows demand for substantial, scalable digital and technology delivery capacity through a competitive framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to provide staff with the knowledge, skills, experience and qualifications to deliver to the required standard, and be able to identify and propose suitable candidates quickly when new delivery teams or capabilities are required. The buyer also expects disciplined service management: timely preparation of draft statements of work, regular reporting in an agreed format, and delivery against social value commitments. These requirements favour suppliers able to combine technical delivery resources with responsive resourcing, clear reporting and reliable performance measurement for a central government change programme.
