Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work & Pensions commissioned an outcome-based service for HHT Exit and Identity Modernisation. The work covers development of HLDS and the associated governance approvals, delivered through four milestones. It is an information technology service involving consulting, software development, internet and support services. The requirement is for the Department’s identity-modernisation strategy and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Department for Work & Pensions, a central government public authority. The procurement comprised one lot and concerned services rather than goods or construction. Suppliers with experience of identity modernisation, HLDS development, governance approval processes and outcome-based delivery would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Mobilise Cloud Services Limited on 30 July 2026. It used a selective competitive procedure, with the award made under a framework. The award and contract value is £1,650,000 excluding VAT, or £1,980,000 including VAT. The award period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 February 2027, with an extension option of up to 12 months and a maximum extent date of 31 March 2028. The signed contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the same possible extension maximum. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026. The award was above the relevant threshold.

This procurement demonstrates substantial central-government demand for identity-modernisation services delivered through an outcome-based contract. A credible future competitor would need to combine identity and technology expertise with the ability to develop HLDS, secure governance approvals and manage delivery through defined milestones. Experience of IT consulting, software development, internet and support services would be relevant to the requirement. Suppliers would also need to work effectively within a framework-based route and demonstrate the organisational capacity expected for a large, above-threshold public-sector service. The four-milestone structure indicates that bidders should be able to plan, evidence and deliver discrete outcomes, while aligning technical work with governance and wider departmental strategy.
