Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology procured a technology and security delivery partner for the Government Digital Service. The requirement covers digital capability and delivery services, including appropriately skilled specialists and teams supporting technical and security-related programmes and activities. It is a professional services opportunity delivered across the United Kingdom, for work associated with central government digital and security programmes. The procurement was made through the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 framework, Lot 2, which is for digital capability and delivery partners. The selected service concerns technical services and is suited to organisations providing specialist technology, digital delivery and security expertise to government programmes.

This procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective procedure under the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 framework. The single lot was completed, with the award made to PA Consulting Services Ltd on 21 July 2026. The awarded value is £9.8 million excluding VAT, or £11.76 million including VAT. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2028, with an optional one-year extension at the authority’s discretion, allowing the period to extend to 16 August 2029. The award is active, and the scheduled contract signature date was 10 August 2026. Evaluation was conducted competitively within the framework procedure.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology for integrated technology and security delivery capability supporting the Government Digital Service. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this type would need access to appropriately skilled digital, technical and security specialists, as well as teams able to deliver across several government programmes and activities. Credibility would depend on proven technical services and digital delivery experience in a public-sector environment, with the organisational capacity to supply multidisciplinary resources at significant scale. Experience of working through the Digital Outcomes and Specialists framework, particularly its digital capability and delivery partner route, would also be relevant.
