## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions has awarded a contract for the "Universal Credit Design System - Product Operations" project to Nomensa Ltd. The procurement stage was marked as "complete" with a value of £81,162. The procurement method used was "selective", with a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 10th July 2022, and the contract period spans from 11th July 2022 to 8th August 2022. The project is classified under IT services, involving consulting, software development, Internet, and support.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses interested in IT services and software development to engage. Criteria such as assessing the delta between the current UC pattern library, GOV.UK Design System, and UC build are central to the project. The Department for Work and Pensions, as the buying organisation, seeks suppliers capable of meeting these requirements. The awarded tender can be seen as a strategic move towards enhancing the Universal Credit system, creating potential growth avenues for service providers in the technology sector.

## Notice

UC inherited the GOV.UK Design System but over time both UC and GOV.UK introduced improvements, new patterns, and components. This project will assess the delta between current UC pattern library, GOV.UK Design System, and UC build.
