## Summary

The Department for Work & Pensions intends to procure licences for a digital support product aimed at parents during the transition to parenthood and the early stages of parenthood. The requirement is for software and information systems, rather than bespoke construction or physical goods. The product is intended to support work under the Reducing Parental Conflict programme for perinatal parents. The buying organisation is a central government department. The procurement is structured as one requirement and is classified as goods. Suppliers with an established digital support platform, relevant licensing model and a product designed for parents around pregnancy and early parenthood are likely to be relevant. The requirement is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the Department for Work & Pensions has announced an intention to buy, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure for a planned, above-threshold procurement. The estimated value is £2.19 million excluding VAT, or £2.628 million including VAT. There is one lot. The anticipated contract period is 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2027, with a possible extension or renewal taking the maximum period to 13 December 2028. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 25 September 2026. These dates are indicative planning expectations rather than deadlines to respond to. The procurement is currently planned rather than an invitation to tender.

This will suit suppliers that already operate a digital product capable of supporting parents during the transition to parenthood and the early stages of parenthood, and that can provide licences for public-sector use. Relevant businesses are likely to include established digital health, family-support, parenting-support or early-years technology providers with a deployable product rather than firms offering only general software development. The buyer has indicated that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations should consider preparing. Businesses should be ready to demonstrate the product’s relevance to perinatal parents, its ability to deliver digital support at scale, and the licensing and service arrangements needed for departmental use when the procurement reaches the market.
