What changed
This modification notice documents a £700,000 ex VAT uplift to the DWP Data Capability Migration contract with Scott Logic Ltd. The additional funding enables continued support for the supplier's team to complete migration of rules and scans and necessary testing ahead of full IRIS availability. The original contract, valued at £6,468,315, was awarded on 14 September 2024. This Reg 72 PCR2015 modification is published for transparency on Find a Tender, having originally been published on Contracts Finder.
Affected parties include the contracting authority (DWP) and the contractor (Scott Logic Ltd). No action is required from other entities. The modification reflects unforeseen delays and dependencies in the data migration work from legacy platforms as part of DWP's long-term data strategy to move away from the DSP.
