Data & Analytics Services

Descriptions

The Home Office's Data Services & Analytics (DSA) Unit intends to put in place two (2) new contracts, with Prime Delivery Partners and supporting supply chains that will include SMEs for the provision of Data and Analytics Services.

DSA delivers critical matching, analytic, reporting and insight services across all areas of the Home Office and beyond. DSA currently has several major contracts providing a significant proportion of these services all of whose initial term will end at the end of calendar year 2025. It is anticipated that the extension options available under the contracts will be utilised to allow a gradual transition during 2025/26.

With the major focus on Data and Analytics as described under the SFIA view, underpinned by the Data related roles described under the latest Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework, the contracts are planned to provide data related professions on a resource augmentation basis as well as Data and Analytics outcome based pieces of work. Whilst the majority of roles under the latter will be data and analytics related, in order to deliver outcomes, there will be provision for non-data roles (e.g. delivery, architecture, user centred design, etc.).

The requirement will cover two Lots as detailed:

Lot A - Data Led Multifunctional Teams: Multi-functional integrated teams commissioned to support the transformative implementation of DSA's emerging data strategy. This includes the ability to increasingly standardise and integrate current bespoke functionality from related programmes into DSA's core offerings. Lot A is expected to have a non-committed capped value of c. £200m over the term.

Lot B - Data Professions: Teams and/or specialist individuals within the data and data related DDaT Professions. If non-data professions are required to create a team, these to be sourced as civil servants, via interim frameworks and/or other HO DDaT Central Profession based contracts. Lot B is expected to have a non-committed capped value of c. £150m over the term.

*Suppliers may bid for one, or more Lots but can only be awarded one of the resulting contracts.
