UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice commissioned specialist platform engineering services for Probation Digital. The requirement is for a third-party supplier to deliver data domain engineering and lead the transition from legacy systems to domain-aligned data structures within the Probation Digital Services Platform. This is a digital and IT services requirement covering consulting, software development, internet and support services (CPV 72000000). The work is delivered across the United Kingdom. It is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, focused on changing the way probation data is structured and engineered within a public-sector digital platform. Organisations relevant to this opportunity include data engineering consultancies, platform engineering specialists and technology suppliers experienced in modernising legacy systems and supporting large-scale government digital services.

The procurement has been awarded following a competitive selective process under a framework. The Ministry of Justice selected Tecknuovo Ltd for the single lot. The award is dated 18 September 2026 and has a value of £25,000,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000,000 including VAT. The standstill period ends on 30 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 1 October 2026. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2029, with an option to extend for 12 months; the maximum extent date is 5 October 2030. The award is recorded as pending, and the tender status is complete. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and uses the 2023/54 legal basis.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial Ministry of Justice demand for specialist data and platform engineering within probation services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show practical capability in data domain engineering, including designing and implementing domain-aligned data structures rather than simply maintaining existing systems. Experience of leading complex transitions from legacy technology, integrating data into a digital services platform and providing associated IT consulting, software development and support would be directly relevant. The award also indicates that an SME technology supplier can be selected for work at significant public-sector scale. Businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate delivery leadership, robust engineering capacity and experience working with complex government or similarly regulated digital environments.
