## Summary

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has completed a procurement process for the "ID Verification" project, focusing on the implementation of an Identity Checking Service. This initiative aims to enhance the registration process for drone operators under the new regulatory framework. Situated in the South East of England, the procurement falls within the "Software package and information systems" category and concluded the award stage on 19th May 2026, with a contract period set from 19th May 2026 to 19th May 2029. Valued at £612,800, the contract was awarded to TrustID Limited, following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, catering to the service needs under the CPV classification 48000000.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software solutions and identity verification services. Companies with expertise in developing automated ID verification systems are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, benefitting from an organisational push towards streamlined and modernised service offerings in compliance with regulatory changes. The awarded contract highlights the importance of leveraging technological advancements to improve operational efficiencies and customer experiences within the aviation sector.

## Notice

Provision of Identity Checking Service. Following the UK Government-commissioned Regulatory Review of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, the CAA modernised the drone regulatory framework, including the introduction of Remote ID. This identified a requirement to introduce IDV for drone operators registering or renewing an Operator ID through the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Service (DMARES). DMARES currently has no IDV capability. Implementing a commercial, automated IDV solution will improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and confidence that operator records relate to verified individuals.
