Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office procured enhancements to its Metis services, classified as IT services covering consulting, software development, internet services and support. The requirement is a services contract delivered across the United Kingdom. The scope includes additional work on the existing Metis service and relates to the buyer’s need for further works, services or supplies from the incumbent provider. The named buyer is the Home Office, based at 2 Marsham Street, London. The selected supplier is Deloitte LLP. The requirement is therefore relevant to established IT services businesses able to support a major UK government department, work on an existing service environment and provide a combination of consultancy, software development, implementation and ongoing technical support.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Deloitte LLP was selected for the Metis ITO award on 15 July 2026. The active contract is valued at £52,610,000 and runs from 15 November 2023 to 14 November 2026. The tender’s stated contract period runs from 14 November 2023 to 15 November 2026. The procurement used a tender process, with the requirement classified as IT services. The contract value was subsequently increased because additional onboarding of arm’s-length bodies and mandatory Oracle implementation were outside the initial procurement. The Home Office stated that changing contractor was not feasible because of the technical and economic costs of transferring knowledge and processes, the need to pause ongoing tasks for handover, and the resulting delivery risk.

This award demonstrates substantial Home Office demand for complex, long-running IT service enhancement and support. A credible future competitor would need the capability to combine consultancy, software development, internet and technical support with delivery within an existing government service environment. Relevant experience would include onboarding arm’s-length bodies, implementing Oracle solutions and managing work that must continue while new activity is introduced. Suppliers would also need strong knowledge-transfer, transition and handover capability, because continuity of processes and technical understanding was a decisive consideration in retaining the incumbent. Large-scale delivery capacity and the ability to manage technically and economically challenging change would be important for organisations seeking comparable Metis-related work from the Home Office.
