## Summary

The Pensions Regulator bought architecture-as-a-service: IT architecture consultancy and support. The requirement is described at a high level, with delivery associated with the regulator’s Brighton location. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The procurement shows that the regulator uses external suppliers for architecture services, relevant to consultancies and technology firms able to provide this type of support. The award was made to Envitia, an SME. The stated scope is limited to “Architecture as a Service”; no further service tasks or technical outputs are set out in the procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Envitia through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £350,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028. The stated estimated procurement value is also £350,000. The requirement is not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are recorded, so the award method beyond the framework call-off cannot be described. The recorded deadline for submissions was 30 September 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, and the tender process is marked complete.

This award is evidence that The Pensions Regulator procures external architecture-as-a-service support, creating a useful reference point for firms serving public-sector technology buyers. A credible future competitor would need to deliver IT architecture consultancy and support at the scale of a two-year, £350,000 engagement, and be able to work with the regulator’s Brighton-based operation. The call-off route indicates that access to an appropriate framework is commercially important for competing for this buyer’s requirement. The selected supplier, Envitia, is an SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider can win this type of work. The requirement is described broadly, so businesses with relevant architecture-service capability should assess the detailed work scope and framework terms when considering comparable opportunities.
