UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero is procuring IT service management and application development services for its Industrial Decarbonisation and Emissions Trading team, working with Integrated Corporate Services Digital. The requirement covers a broad ITSM service: service desk operations, cloud infrastructure support and maintenance, application support, application development and delivery, and security management. This is a public-sector digital and technology services opportunity, including both operational support and software delivery. The buying organisation is based at 55 Whitehall, London, and the services are for the department’s functions. The requirement was procured through the Technology Services 4 framework, covering the relevant framework lots for these services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a competitive selective procedure under the Technology Services 4 framework. One lot was awarded to Version 1 Solutions Limited. The award was made on 28 July 2026, with a value of £50,000,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000,000 including VAT. The standstill period ended on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a maximum extent to 31 August 2031. It includes two possible 12-month extension periods within the stated value. Performance is structured around incident response and resolution, agile delivery, service standards and delivery planning, and commitments under the agreed action plan.

This requirement demonstrates substantial demand from a central government department for an integrated technology partner able to combine IT service management, cloud infrastructure, application support, software development and cyber security. A credible competitor would need the scale and service governance to operate a service desk and maintain cloud and application estates, alongside the engineering capability to deliver agile application changes and new development. Evidence of meeting defined service standards, delivery plans and incident response measures would be important, as would the ability to manage structured statements of work and report against performance measures. Suppliers with established public-sector delivery experience and the capacity to support both continuous operations and planned development would be best placed when this requirement returns.
