UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned digital delivery services for probation, supporting the design, development, launch, adoption and ongoing improvement of digital services across several service areas. The work covers software development and digital service delivery for probation, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement is a single service package rather than separate lots. It concerns the practical delivery and iteration of digital services, not simply software supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hippo Digital Limited through a competitive award under a framework. The award was made on 11 August 2026. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029, with an option to extend by 12 months, to 28 September 2030. Its value is £36 million excluding VAT (£43.2 million including VAT). Performance is assessed against timely completion of statements of work, accurate and timely billing, and delivery of agreed outcomes against acceptance criteria, quality expectations and tolerances. The work was procured as one lot.

For suppliers competing for comparable Ministry of Justice work, this award shows demand for a delivery partner able to support probation services across the full digital lifecycle: service design, build, launch, adoption and iterative improvement. Credible competitors need to deliver across multiple service areas and demonstrate reliable project delivery, meeting agreed statements-of-work deadlines and outcome, quality and acceptance requirements. The buyer also expects accurate, timely billing and performance that can be monitored against agreed measures. The route used was a competitive call-off under a framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to compete through that route are commercially important. The scale and breadth of the engagement favour suppliers with the capacity to sustain delivery over a multi-year programme.
