## Summary

The recent procurement process, titled "National Fraud Initiative - Data Matching Services Award," was conducted by the Crown Commercial Service. This contract falls under the services category and is valued at £4,000,000. The procurement method was an open procedure above the threshold, with the contract period commencing on 3rd April 2018 and concluding on 3rd December 2022. The contract aims to develop a managed service for the National Fraud Initiative (NFI), operating under strict security standards, and is relevant across various locations, including the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories. The tender period ended on 14th October 2017.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data matching and analytics services, particularly those with experience in navigating government security and data protection standards. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider bidding, given the flexibility and collaboration required for the project. Companies that can demonstrate innovation in data analytics and maintain a strong partnership approach would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders under this framework, potentially expanding their reach and capabilities in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The Cabinet Office required a managed service to deliver all aspects of National Fraud Initiative (NFI) in an environment that meets the Cabinet Office security requirements and is accredited against relevant Government Information Assurance Standards. The supplier was expected to ensure that the system is updated in line with future Government security standards and future changes to data protection legislation. The NFI is a complex project requiring expertise, flexibility and close collaboration. The supplier was required to work in partnership with the Cabinet Office to jointly drive innovation and continual programme development. For example developing enhanced data matching/analytics techniques, overcoming specific data related problems, contacting participants needing support and developing enhanced functionality for the NFI web application. Additional information: The final contract price referenced in the Contract Award Notice in II.1.7 and v2.4 is an estimate and the actual price of the contract is considerably less. The exact figure has not been provided due to its commercially sensitive nature.
