## Summary

This procurement process, initiated by the Department for Work and Pensions, pertains to a contract titled "Benefit Payment Systems (BPS) API & OSMP Service," falling under the IT services industry category.

Key details include a contract period starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st December 2025. The procurement method used was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement. Although the tender period ended on 24th March 2025, the award was made on 28th March 2025, with the contract being valued at £291,190, awarded to Layer 7 Limited.

This procurement presents a viable growth opportunity for SMEs involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in API development and integration services.

## Notice

BPS require a supplier service that can deliver Tuxedo components for every new API being developed. The component also needs to be tested and integrated in the full end-to-end API solution. Without this essential component and integration, the range of new API's requested to support initiatives such as Colleague View and Data Migration will not be possible. The API team also need a service that can deliver technical testing, including test automation and technical test coverage, for every new API component.
