UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office commissioned an Online Intervention Pilot to test whether early online intervention can reduce escalation risk and improve upstream safeguarding. This is a public-sector service focused on developing, testing and evaluating a novel online capability, with data analysis as the specified service. The work is intended to assess the model’s suitability, feasibility, effectiveness and operational viability before decisions about wider implementation. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The requirement is managed by the Home Office, a central government department. The procurement is structured as one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The practical scope therefore combines online intervention activity with analytical work to assess outcomes and inform future requirements.

The procurement has been completed through a direct award to MOONSHOT CVE LTD. The selected supplier is an SME. The award value is £330,000 excluding VAT and £396,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with signature scheduled by 25 September 2026. The stated route was chosen for a time-limited prototype and development activity involving the development, testing and evaluation of a novel capability. The procurement was above the relevant threshold. Evaluation concerned the proposed model’s suitability, feasibility, effectiveness and operational viability, rather than a standard competitive purchase. The service classification is data analysis services. The award is recorded as pending while the procurement itself is complete.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to combine online intervention design with rigorous data analysis and evaluation. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can develop and test novel digital capabilities, assess whether they work in practice, and translate findings into clear evidence for safeguarding and operational decisions. Relevant strengths include designing time-limited prototypes, measuring outcomes, analysing escalation risk, evaluating feasibility and effectiveness, and identifying how a model could operate at wider scale. Experience working with central government or sensitive safeguarding requirements would help demonstrate delivery maturity, alongside the capacity to carry out both technical development and structured evaluation within a defined pilot. The opportunity also shows that an SME can be considered suitable for this type of Home Office work.
