DWP Dynamic Trust Hub

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy. As the UK's biggest public service department we administer the State Pension and a range of working age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers.

In common with other areas of government we are actively seeking to improve our digital offerings to citizens and are intending to build a common platform around Identity and Trust. This platform will consist of a number of continuously evolving solutions that support the core capabilities that the Department feels it needs. This is not envisaged as a single solution, but rather a collection of interoperable services that are linked by common concepts, standards and purpose.

This will be known as the Dynamic Trust Hub (DTH) and it is anticipated that the DTH will consist of the following capabilities:

• Credentials and Authorisation; • Identity Verification; • Transaction Monitoring and Behavioural Risking; • Fraud and Error Prevention.

To assist with understanding the capabilities that exist in the market in each of these areas DWP is intending to hold an early market engagement event which will assist with the decision on the possible procurement of an agile and fit-for-purpose solution.

At this stage, DWP has not identified a sourcing route for this procurement activity. The intention is to use the information gathered during the early market engagement to help shape the proposed procurement process and specification for this project.

We would therefore like to offer suitably experienced and capable organisations the opportunity to attend this event and we are particularly keen to encourage attendance by SME suppliers.

Full event details are contained within the attached document.

If you would like to attend this event, please respond to the email address below by close of business (5pm) on Friday 29th March 2019 registering your interest. Please include a Word document providing a summary of your organisation and why you think you should be selected to attend the event.

Any supplier that may be contacted directly or who responds to this notice, may not necessarily be invited to the event and does not have a privileged position in relation to any future contract opportunity. Any subsequent procurements that DWP conducts will be based on the fair and objective outcome of a procurement process.
