Tender description

This contract award enables a provider to deliver ongoing AI capability support from the end of June, supporting the transition of the Home Office M365 Copilot program from pilot into Business-as-Usual (BAU). The program is a strategic initiative to uplift digital capability through adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Agent Builder and Copilot Studio, equipping colleagues to use AI tools safely, responsibly and effectively. This work aligns with the Cabinet Secretary's "Make it better" mandate, promoting curiosity, continuous learning and the effective adoption of AI. AI is recognised as a defining opportunity to transform how the Civil Service operates and delivers services, with early use already demonstrating improved productivity and outcomes. The service will support the Home Office's contribution to the cross-government ambition to scale AI adoption safely, build in-house capability, and embed sustainable, value-driven use of AI across the organisation.

About the buyer

Home Office is a central ministerial department, and it buys through its own commercial and procurement function. Border Force, UK Visas and Immigration and HM Passport Office sit within the department. Procurement opportunities are published on the Find a Tender Service, alongside commercial pipeline notices for work still ahead of formal tender. Many IT and digital contracts are advertised through Crown Commercial Service framework agreements. The Jaggaer eSourcing Portal handles the department's tendering activity for suppliers and procurement professionals. Security-sector contracts run through the Joint Security and Resilience Centre, a dedicated procurement route for that work.

Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.

Over the past 5 years, most of Home Office's contract awards have been in IT services, business services and software and information systems.
