## Summary

The Home Office has issued a substantial Framework Engineering Contract valued at £87.83 million, under the procurement category of IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This contract, aimed at enhancing and maintaining the Atlas platform crucial for visa and asylum applications, covers a global scope including British Oversea Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement follows a 'selective' method through a call-off from a framework agreement, reaching the award stage as of 2nd September 2025, with the contract period set from 3rd November 2025 to 3rd November 2028. Noteworthy deadlines include the end of the tender period on 24th February 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for large-scale businesses, particularly those with expertise in providing specialist software engineering services. The contract seeks to address critical skills gaps, offering consistent work over three years, supporting Migration & Borders priorities that include Out of Country service enhancements and audit capability developments. Businesses well-versed in managed services agreements and capable of ensuring continuous operational support for entities like Border Force and Immigration Enforcement would find this venture quite lucrative. While the primary supplier is a large entity, the suitability criteria also open possibilities for SMEs to engage indirectly through subcontracting and partnerships.
