This initiative falls under the IT services industry category, taking place in Blackpool, England. Currently in the planning stage, the procurement is focused on enhancing data-driven modelling and analytics capabilities to mitigate risks related to incorrect benefit payments resulting from fraud or errors. Interested vendors are encouraged to register for a market engagement event, which aims to define requirements further and will serve as a key step in the Discovery phase leading to the POC project set for Autumn 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for IT service providers, especially those specialising in consulting, software development, and internet support, to contribute innovative solutions to combat fraud in public services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as they can offer agile and tailored responses to the needs identified in the TxR programme. Engaging with DWP during this early stage will help these businesses position themselves for potential future contracts and collaborations in fraud prevention technologies. ## Notice Within DWP Digital, the Transaction Risking Programme (TxR) is enhancing capabilities that use data to drive modelling and analytics, enabling the Department to identify risks around incorrect benefit payments due to fraud or error. It will deliver new solutions to prevent fraud and error entering the system at the point of application, prior to payment and throughout the lifecycle of individual changes. As part of this delivery, DWP is exploring the latest capabilities to potentially add to its counter fraud services including: - High quality entity resolution and high-performance data linking - Capabilities for data scientists to analyse linked data, then develop and deploy custom analytics that generate alerts - Visual, customisable investigative tools for intervention teams to address complex alerts effectively and productively - Accommodation for diverse data types from across channels and service lines - Ability to easily integrate with existing services including case management systems - Full security and data protection controls baked into services (including granular access controls and audit monitoring) - Low total cost of ownership including cloud deployment options, ease of development/ configuration, service management options and understanding of other elastic costs e.g. volumetrics and concurrency We are looking to engage Product and Services Vendors to test our thinking and better understand how to add capability to our services. Requirements are not yet finalised and are the subject of a current Discovery phase activity. To open communications, DWP is hosting a market engagement event to give potential suppliers the opportunity to better understand requirements and provide information on best practice and potential ways forward. A key step in the Discovery process is a Proof of Concept (POC) project, likely to be undertaken in Autumn 2021. Objectives of the POC project are to refine requirements and learn more about software products that could play a role in operational service. Plans for the POC are under development and more information will be provided at the event. After the event, suppliers will be invited to complete a questionnaire to provide product and service information and to register interest in the POC project. The supplier responses will be reviewed and where appropriate, suppliers may be invited to participate in the POC. Suppliers interested in attending the event should book by 07/07/2021 via the email below: PeelPark.DataandAnalyticsCommercialTeam@dwp.gov.uk On receipt of your booking email, DWP will issue a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for you to sign and return. Due to the sensitive nature of information to be discussed, signing of the NDA is mandatory to attend the event. Please note that due to technical capacity constraints suppliers will be limited to a maximum of 2 representatives. Registration is for the Pre-Market Engagement Event only.
