Summary of the contracting process

HM Land Registry bought an online suicide-prevention monitoring tool for its digital services. The software identifies harmful content relating to self-harm and suicide and, in the first instance, replaces it with a prominent intervention message offering hope and links to mental-health support for users in crisis. The requirement is for a software package and information system, rather than a general mental-health service. HM Land Registry is the buying organisation, based in Croydon. The described purpose is to respond to potentially harmful online content and direct people towards support. This procurement provides a concrete example of how the Registry uses online safety software to address suicide and self-harm risks in its digital environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Ripple Online Safety Ltd. HM Land Registry used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 21 September 2026. Its period runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027. The contract value is £26,413.20 excluding VAT and £31,695.84 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the online monitoring and intervention tool. The procurement data describes the software and its intended response to harmful content, but gives no separate evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand at HM Land Registry for software that can monitor online content for references to self-harm and suicide, then interrupt harmful material with a clear, supportive message and links to appropriate mental-health services. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need a product that combines reliable harmful-content detection with a carefully designed intervention experience and relevant support signposting. The capability is not simply content moderation: the system must respond appropriately to users who may be in crisis. Ripple Online Safety Ltd, an SME, was selected through a direct award below threshold without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or a published set of technical qualifications. For prospective suppliers, the buyer-specific opportunity is to show that their software can deliver the same monitoring and intervention purpose in HM Land Registry’s online services.
