The Government Digital Service (GDS) has agreed a new contract with Deloitte for the company to continue to support the GOV.UK One Login programme.
It has published the contract award notice, which indicates it came into force on 21 July to run for one year and is valued at £16 million.
This maintains the company’s role as delivery partner, which began in March of last year and was extended in November, taking the total spend to over £28 million.
Deloitte will be responsible for providing whole or partial digital delivery teams to work on outcomes within the programme, while helping GDS to develop a sustainable in-house capability.
The contract maintains the momentum of the One Login programme, which is developing a single form of identity verification for central government online services.
Accounts and identities
In June, GDS reported that over 800,000 accounts had been created and 1.51 million identities issued, with several government services using One Login. These included the Disclosure and Barring Service for basic checks, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency for applications for vehicle operator licences, HM Land Registry for signing mortgage deeds, and the Modern Slavery Unit in the Home Office as part of its registry.
GDS is aiming for the bulk of government services to use it by the end of March 2025.
