This procurement, tagged under the IT services and data services industry categories, is in the planning phase with a target contract commencement date in August 2025 and an end date in August 2029, with an optional extension of up to one year. The total indicative contract value across both Lots is up to £350 million. The procurement is conducted via the Crown Commercial Services framework under Lot 1 of the Digital Specialists and Programmes (DSP) - RM6263 Framework. Key milestones include draft ITT in December 2024 and target further competition in January 2025. The procurement locale is primarily London, UK. This tender presents a prime opportunity for businesses specializing in data and analytics, cloud services, and IT consultancy to expand their portfolios and secure long-term government contracts. The procurement is structured to support the Home Office's critical data services, offering both resource augmentation and outcome-based work, making it ideal for enterprises capable of delivering comprehensive analytics solutions. Businesses with expertise in modern analytic techniques such as machine learning and AI, especially those capable of building secure and compliant data services, will find this tender particularly advantageous. Furthermore, the engagement of SMEs as part of the supply chain ensures that smaller firms also have substantial opportunities for collaboration and growth within the government's evolving digital framework. ## Notice Future Opportunity Description: The Home Office's Data Services & Analytics (DSA) Unit intends to put in place two (2) new contracts, with Prime Delivery Partners and supporting supply chains that will include SMEs for the provision of Data and Analytics Services. DSA delivers critical matching, analytic, reporting and insight services across all areas of the Home Office and beyond. DSA currently has several major contracts providing a significant proportion of these services all of whose initial term will end at the end of calendar year 2024 and into 2025. It is anticipated that the extension options available under the contracts will be utilised to allow a gradual transition during 2025/26. With the major focus on Data and Analytics as described under the SFIA view, underpinned by the Data related roles described under the latest Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework, the contracts are planned to provide data related professions on a resource augmentation basis as well as Data and Analytics outcome based pieces of work. Whilst the majority of roles under the latter will be data and analytics related, in order to deliver outcomes, there will be provision for non-data roles (e.g. delivery, architecture, user centred design, etc.). The requirement will cover two Lots as detailed: Lot A - Data Led Multifunctional Teams: Multi-functional integrated teams commissioned to support the transformative implementation of DSA's emerging data strategy. This includes the ability to increasingly standardise and integrate current bespoke functionality from related programmes into DSA's core offerings. Lot A is expected to have a non-committed capped value of c. PS200m over the maximum term. Lot B - Data Professions: Teams and/or specialist individuals within the data and data related DDaT Professions. If non-data professions are required to create a team, these to be sourced as civil servants, via interim frameworks and/or other HO DDaT Central Profession based contracts. Lot B is expected to have a non-committed capped value of c. PS150m over the maximum term. *Suppliers may bid for one, or more Lots but can only be awarded one of the resulting contracts.
