## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in England has awarded a contract for the development of digital election services. The procurement was conducted using selective methods through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service's Digital & Legacy Application Services framework, Lot 3 (RM6335). The award, valued at £63,700,000, was published on 9th March 2026, and the contract commenced on the same day, with a duration until 8th March 2033. The services are classified under the information technology category (CPV 72222300) and will be delivered across the United Kingdom, encompassing expertise in delivery, implementation, and various specialised tech disciplines.

This tender represents significant opportunities for large-scale IT service providers, especially those with expertise in product management, user research, and technical architecture. The contract is poised to advance the government's manifesto commitments, promoting continuous innovation and enhancement of existing services. While the call-off framework favours well-established organisations over SMEs or VCSEs due to the contract scale, businesses with suitable capabilities and resources can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio in public sector digital transformations.

## Notice

The supplier will help the MHCLG Elections team deliver the government's manifesto commitments and other priorities, alongside continuing to iterate and improve our existing products and services. Requirements will vary from a full multi-disciplinary team to individual(s) to complement an existing team for a short to medium period. The supplier shall provide expertise in delivery and implementation, product management, discovery and user research, business analysis, service design, development, testing and technical architecture. We expect to have a number of concurrent requirements of different sizes running through this contract, but this will vary based on need. Additional information: This is a call-off from Lot 3 of the Crown Commercial Service's Digital & Legacy Application Services (DALAS) framework (RM6335).
