## Notice

The Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) will be procuring an interim identity service on a two year contract to support the initial testing phases of the programme. This interim contract will enable PDP to assess the development of the identity market in line with the proposed UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework, and support the low and controlled volumes planned through the initial phases. The identity service provides a key function within the core architecture for the Pensions Dashboards ecosystem. The aim is to give users confidence that access to their pension information is protected and additionally to give pension providers confidence that they are releasing information to the right person.
