## Summary

The Pensions Regulator, a public authority within the central government, has completed a procurement process for design and prototyping software under the title "Figma." Located in Brighton, UK, The Pensions Regulator identified the need to upgrade its design software to ensure efficient product development and protect its intellectual property. This contract, covering IT services such as software development, was directly awarded to Figma, Inc without competition, given it was below the threshold. The contract spans from 7 January 2026 to 6 January 2027, allowing for additional licences to be purchased as options.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for organisations specialising in IT services and software solutions, especially those providing complementary or support services to design software like Figma. Large scale businesses with a focus on software infrastructure can see potential growth by aligning themselves with public authorities seeking technological upgrades or integrated solutions. As The Pensions Regulator partners with Kainos, there may also be future opportunities for collaborative projects, requiring businesses adept in digital transformation and design prototyping services.

## Notice

TPR needs software for design and prototyping to be an efficient and effective regulator. Figma licenses are required to: produce & maintain pattern library of reusable elements that meet standards and enable efficient product development and iteration rapidly prototype and test ideas for discovery work and build user experiences that pass service assessments TPR does not currently have fit-for-purpose design software. Older designs (UI Kit) are in Adobe XD which is out of support and often breaks when we try to make updates. New designs are being made by TPR designer using the free version of Figma or by Kainos designers in their version of Figma. As a result there is a risk that TPR's IP is sitting outside TPR which urgently needs to be addressed. Given Kainos (TPR's Digital Partner) uses Figma, TPR needs to adopt Figma to both protect TPR's IP (as highlighted) and facilitate seamless working across Kainos and TPR. Licences: 10x Figma 'organization' - full seat - PS50 a month 4x Figma 'organization' - dev - PS22 a month
