## Summary

The procurement process titled "Unity Legacy Migration" is managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), focusing on IT services related to consulting, software development, and support, with a total value of £78,408. The contract aims to facilitate the transfer of data as part of a TUPE transfer of employees into DWP Digital and is situated in Leeds, England. This tender was completed with an initial contract period running from 1st April 2021 to 30th June 2021. The procurement method employed was selective, initiated through a call-off from an existing framework agreement. The tender period closed on 8th March 2021.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT solutions, particularly those experienced in data migration and archiving. Companies that provide data management services or consultancy are well-positioned to engage with such tenders, as they can align their offerings with the specific needs of the DWP for managing both live and historical employee data effectively. Firms looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts, especially those with a proven track record in supporting large organisations in data transfer and archiving solutions, will find this a valuable opportunity for growth.

## Notice

The Unity programme involves the TUPE transfer of BPDTS employees into DWP Digital. As part of this we need solutions to allow the extract, transfer and loading of all BPDTS data to meet the transfer date of 30th June. Live HR/payroll data will be put into a Shared Operating Platform (SOP) which is used by our Shared Service Supplier SSCL. However, the historic data for circa 400 past BPDTS employees will also need to be housed in a data archive. Currently, DWP legacy data is archived within a system (FAMIS-R) that comprises several databases. This is currently accessed by the Shared Service Supplier (SSCL) to answer individual, departmental or potential audit queries. The existing archive route and environments will be utilised for this archiving piece of work.
