## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions procured licences to access the Workwell Platform. The requirement is for a secure, web-based platform used by Workwell participants. In practical terms, the service centres on providing controlled online access to a digital platform rather than supplying physical goods or construction works. The procurement is categorised as a service, with the associated classification describing social research services. The buyer is the Department for Work & Pensions, a central government department. The requirement is therefore relevant to suppliers providing secure hosted platforms, user access licences or related digital services for public-sector programmes, particularly where participants need reliable online access to a service supporting Workwell activity. The published scope does not identify a separate delivery location.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to SS Studio Ltd, with an active award and active contract. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 22 July 2026 to 30 November 2029. It has a maximum extent date of 28 February 2030 and includes an optional three-month extension. The contract value is £23,856 excluding VAT and £29,820 including VAT. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. The award covers the Workwell Platform access requirement and is classified as a services purchase. The evaluation basis was therefore the buyer’s direct-award route rather than a competed tender process.

For a supplier assessing future demand from the Department for Work & Pensions, this procurement demonstrates a requirement for secure, web-based platform access serving Workwell participants. A credible competitor would need to provide a dependable hosted service, manage user licences or permissions, and maintain secure access for a public-sector user community. Experience supporting participant-facing digital platforms, social research activity or services connected with employment and welfare programmes would be relevant to the requirement. Suppliers should also be able to explain how they protect user access, maintain service continuity and support the buyer’s operational needs. The direct, below-threshold route and the award to a specialist platform supplier indicate that a focused service offering may be more relevant than a broad general technology proposition.
