## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed the procurement process for "Synergy Programme Technical Assurance," an IT services contract focused on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This contract was awarded to Capgemini UK Plc, following a direct single tender action below the threshold. The technical assurance work, valued at £2,927,051 GBP, involves key areas such as data and security, technical architecture, and delivery management. The contract's performance period spans from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025 with activities taking place across various regions including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 30th September 2024 and the contract award date on 30th September 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly large-scale IT consulting and software development firms, to engage in high-value and complex technical assurance tasks. Companies with expertise in system integration, SaaS platforms, and extensive experience in technical project management will find this contract beneficial for expanding their service portfolios and enhancing their reputations. While SMEs and VCSEs may find participation challenging due to the size and scope of the project, larger businesses with relevant technical capabilities and existing relationships with governmental bodies like the DWP are well-positioned to benefit.

## Notice

The Synergy Programme has recently secured a System Integrator (SI) to support the Cluster to transition to a new SaaS platform, enabling the 4 cluster departments to transform their back-office functions. The SI is currently in the process of being onboarded and will be expected to move at pace. This is due to the pressure to exit the existing SSCL contract and the need to realise financial benefits. Capgemini are a trusted technical assurance provider with prior knowledge of the Synergy Programme as they are already providing services to the Synergy Programme with respect to the technical aspects. Capgemini have been providing such services since February 2023. Further work is required to support the engagement with the SI/ERP providers who are currently being onboarded. This engagement will consist of three statements of working covering key areas of focus, namely: data and security; technical architecture, and delivery management of the future shared services organisation.
