    Brief

    The UK Home Office is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise to gather supplier input for its planned Quality Assurance and Testing (QAT) procurements. The Authority aims to consolidate multiple existing QAT contracts into two core testing capability contracts by Autumn 2027. This RFI follows a supplier engagement event on 27th July and represents the next stage of pre-market engagement. The Authority seeks detailed supplier input on procurement and delivery models, transition and mobilisation approaches, commercial and performance management, innovation and automation capabilities, AI applications, tooling and technical capabilities, SME support, and experience with product-centric delivery models. Each future contract is expected to have a minimum three-year term with a maximum spend of £150m including extensions. Contracts are anticipated to be competed through the Crown Commercial Service's Quality Assurance and Testing for IT Systems 2 Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6148), though the Authority continues to assess its options and welcomes responses from all interested suppliers. Participation in this information-gathering exercise does not constitute a call for competition and will not influence future procurement processes. Interested suppliers should register and respond via the Home Office eSourcing Portal at https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com using reference pqq_864.
