The Garage Delivery Factory and Live Service Teams

Department for Work & Pensions · Central government

In brief

Department for Work & Pensions has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £120,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, up to 6 years with extensions, starting 18 January 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 2.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 10 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £120,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

DWP is seeking a single prime supplier to act as the primary delivery partner to provide multidisciplinary digital capability to support delivery across The Garage Delivery Factory and associated Live Service functions. Services are expected to include digital delivery, engineering, automation, cloud services, AI-enabled elements, live service support and associated specialist capabilities.

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.
