UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the City of Wakefield procured an annual subscription to NRPF Connect, a secure, cloud-based casework and immigration-status information system. The service gives authorised council officers access to current Home Office data about individuals’ immigration status, eligibility for public funds and conditions attached to leave. It supports lawful decisions on cases involving no recourse to public funds, asylum support, safeguarding, homelessness prevention and refugee integration. The procurement covers software and information systems, with delivery in West Yorkshire. The buying organisation is Wakefield Council. This requirement is relevant to suppliers providing secure hosted case-management software, controlled access to sensitive immigration information and reliable links to authoritative government data for public-sector decision-making.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold route with the specific method recorded as unknown. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and awarded to Islington Council. The award is active. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029, with a gross value of £19,548. The requirement was treated as goods and the awarded item was software and information systems. The outcome demonstrates a direct award or completed below-threshold procurement for an annual NRPF Connect subscription, rather than a tender currently seeking responses. The contract is active for the stated period and no separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement outcome.

This procurement indicates demand for a specialist public-sector system supporting immigration-status checks and no-recourse-to-public-funds casework. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a secure cloud platform, robust access controls and dependable handling of sensitive personal information. They would also need to provide current, accurate access to Home Office immigration data, with information presented clearly enough to support lawful decisions. Relevant experience would include case management for asylum support, safeguarding, homelessness prevention, refugee integration or related statutory services. Credibility would be strengthened by evidence of reliable service delivery to councils, effective information governance, strong security arrangements and support for authorised officers working across complex, regulated cases.
