Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office commissioned an online intervention pilot to test whether early intervention delivered online can reduce the risk of escalation and improve safeguarding at an earlier stage. The work is a data analysis service, with delivery in the United Kingdom. It is a single-service requirement rather than a set of separate lots, and is intended to develop and test a novel approach before the Home Office determines any wider implementation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MOONSHOT CVE LTD. The award was made on 10 September 2026, for £330,000 excluding VAT (£396,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The Home Office used a direct award, justified as time-limited prototype and development work to assess the proposed model’s suitability, feasibility, effectiveness and operational viability, and to define future requirements before deciding on wider implementation. The process comprised one lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation score or award-criteria breakdown.

This award indicates demand from the Home Office for specialist data analysis connected with online early intervention and safeguarding, particularly work that can test whether an approach reduces escalation risk and improves upstream outcomes. A credible future supplier would need to combine analytical capability with the ability to develop and evaluate a novel intervention model, assess its operational feasibility and effectiveness, and produce evidence that can inform later requirements. The pilot’s prototype and development focus means suppliers experienced in time-limited testing, evaluation and translating findings into practical service requirements are well placed. The single-lot structure and stated SME suitability show that a smaller supplier could compete, provided it can deliver the analytical and development work at the required scale.
