## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions has awarded a contract for "Data Modernisation Technologies and Patterns" under a selective procurement method. The contract, valued at GBP 12,000,000, involves IT services for consulting, software development, and Internet support. The tender period ended on April 24, 2022, with a contract period running from April 25, 2022, to June 30, 2022. The procurement process involved a single supplier service contract with Credera Ltd to deliver a Virtualisation Service based on Denodo Software.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, consulting, software development, and Internet support to engage with the Department for Work and Pensions. Companies providing high-performance data integration and abstraction solutions may find this contract particularly suited to their expertise. The Department's emphasis on coaching staff to enhance in-house capabilities also opens avenues for collaboration in building long-term technical capacity within the organisation.

## Notice

This interim contract is a single supplier service contract that enables D&A to run the Local Labour Market Product MVP and maintain delivery momentum. The Supplier will continue to work through the agreed backlog whilst supporting and maintaining the MVP. Under the interim contract, work will commence on a major new deliverable: a Virtualisation Service based on Denodo Software to enable high-performance data integration and data abstraction across DWP Legacy and Cloud-based Services. The Virtualisation service will form the backbone of D&A's Data Access Layer which is a key technical component of D&A's Data Delivery Strategy. This interim contract will allow D&A to maintain the planned timeline for delivery of the Virtualisation service. To reduce D&A reliance on supplier-delivered data design and delivery services over the longer term, the interim contract includes a requirement for the Supplier to coach DWP staff (who will be identified and made available by D&A) to a standard where they will be able to design, support and maintain Platform Wrapper Services. The intent is to gradually introduce DWP staff to the Platform Wrapper to work alongside the Supplier until such time that there are enough DWP staff proficient in all aspects of design and delivery. The Supplier will retain full responsibility for the management and execution of all PW services and deliverables until this position is reached.
