## Summary

The Home Office procured software development, support and maintenance for the HMPO Platforms suite of products. This is an information technology services requirement covering the digital platforms that support HM Passport Office services, including software development, ongoing technical support and platform maintenance. The work is delivered across the United Kingdom. The procurement is relevant to suppliers providing managed software services, application development, platform engineering, technical support and maintenance for public-sector digital systems. It concerns a single service requirement under the Home Office, with the stated purpose of maintaining and developing the platforms used to support passport application and issue services. The associated service classification is information technology services (CPV 72222300).

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Home Office selected DXC Technology Ltd, trading as EntServ UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 3 December 2021 and covers the period from 3 December 2021 to 2 December 2026. Its awarded value is £37,000,000. The procurement used a tender process and comprised one lot. A later contract amendment extended the service period by up to two further years, to 2 December 2028, without increasing the originally awarded maximum value of £37,000,000. The stated rationale was to avoid disruption and duplicated costs while the Home Office reviews and modernises the digital services supporting passport application and issue, including work to insource the services.

This procurement shows sustained demand from the Home Office for suppliers able to develop, support and maintain critical digital platforms underpinning passport services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong software development and application support capability, dependable maintenance operations, and the capacity to keep public-facing platforms stable while modernisation takes place. Experience of complex government or similarly critical digital services would be relevant, particularly where service continuity, controlled change and integration with wider transformation programmes are important. The incumbent is a large supplier, indicating a requirement capable of supporting substantial delivery capacity and operational resilience. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable managed services, technical depth and the organisational scale to sustain platforms through transition or eventual insourcing.
