## Summary

The public procurement process involves the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) as the buying organisation, with the tender titled "Apply for a Nino." This contract falls within the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, and support. The procurement method utilised was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 31st March 2022, with an eventual duration running from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023. The service will be delivered in the North East region of the United Kingdom, and the total contract value is £2,200,000.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in digital transformation and developing online service platforms. Companies that can enhance user experience and adapt to new digital service requirements may find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Given the DWP's emphasis on providing efficient online services following the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses that can demonstrate innovation and reliability in digital service delivery will be especially competitive.

## Notice

The COVID -19 pandemic and temporary closure of DWP offices meant that, in the UK, the previous face-to-face service was proven unworkable and a Digital on-line service was needed to support the safety of both citizens and DWP staff. Home Office NINo service transformation is also being progressed to ensure parity of service for UK and Non UK residents
