Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 16 awards in the last 12 months).

Dynamic purchasing system

Suppliers join a list the buyer can call on. You can usually apply at any time while it is open, and work is awarded later through smaller competitions between members.

What the notice says

The Home Office is seeking to engage with suppliers interested in delivering digital delivery support services for a future procurement. The requirement is still being developed and this preliminary market engagement will be used to test supplier appetite, understand market capability and help refine the final requirement and procurement approach. The potential future requirement may include support across the following areas: • cross-portfolio delivery integration support; • demand management; • project initiation and mobilisation; and • surge capacity / flexible multidisciplinary delivery support. More detail on requirements will be provided on signing of the NDA. The Home Office is particularly interested in supplier views on delivery models, commercial models, market capacity, mobilisation considerations, and how flexible demand and surge capacity could operate in practice. This is not a call for competition or an invitation to tender. The Home Office reserves the right to amend the scope, procurement route, commercial model and timetable following market engagement and internal approvals.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
