Summary of the contracting process

The Money and Pensions Service required senior leadership, assurance and advisory services for its Pensions Dashboards digital platform and associated ecosystem. The work centred on acting as the primary platform interface supporting the Chief Digital and Information Officer, with commercial, operational and technical oversight of services. The initiation work was intended to assess the Pensions Dashboards service, operating model, governance arrangements, supplier ecosystem and key delivery risks, and to provide an evidence-based basis for the Chief Digital and Information Officer and Service Owner. This is digital-platform leadership and software-related advisory work. Delivery was in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Money and Pensions Service awarded the single-lot contract to Global Resourcing Ltd. It was awarded by direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and ran from 7 July to 6 August 2026, with a four-week initiation, scoping and requirements phase. The contract value was £28,750 excluding VAT and £34,500 including VAT. The published description sets out the requirement and intended assessment, but does not state a separate evaluation basis or scoring criteria.

For comparable work, a credible supplier would need to provide senior leadership able to act as the main interface between a digital platform and executive service owners. Relevant capability spans commercial, operational and technical oversight, assurance and advisory work across a complex public-service platform and its supplier ecosystem. Experience assessing service performance, operating models and governance, and identifying delivery risks, would be directly pertinent; findings need to support evidence-based decisions by senior digital and service leadership. This was a focused initiation assignment rather than a broad technology delivery programme, so suppliers suited to short, senior-level scoping engagements are more aligned than providers whose offer is limited to software supply or implementation. The buyer's use of a direct award without competition is also relevant context for understanding how this particular requirement was sourced.
