## Summary

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has completed a procurement process for the maintenance and modification of its Data Service Platform (DSP) used for managing and exploiting big data to realise approximately £0.5 billion per year in fraud and error savings. This contract, classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000), covers regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and globally. The procurement, which used a selective method through a framework agreement, concluded with an award on 25th September 2024. The contract period spans from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2025, with a total contract value of £4,231,000 and a minimum value of £2,115,500.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced in maintaining and upgrading data platforms using technologies like Cloudera, Informatica, and Qlik on a Nutanix stack. Companies with a capacity to deliver service maintenance, application support, and platform modernisation could substantially benefit. Large-scale enterprises such as Rplus Analytics Ltd, the awarded supplier, are well-suited for such contracts given the scope and potential financial implications associated with enhancing DWP's data management capabilities.
