Universal Credit seeks booking system to support up to 30 million appointments Empty DWP awards £2.5m appointment booking solution contract

Post by Mary_FV Wed May 31, 2017 4:40 pm

While GDS is understood to have no current plans for a cross department booking solution, DWP has signed a 12 month contract for appointment system to support Universal Credit

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has awarded a 12 month contract to provide an appointment booking system for Universal Credit as it considers whether later this year to purchase a new system to support these functions.

Under the agreement, which is valued at £2.5m and came into effect at the beginning of this month, supplier Booking Bug will provide a solution to handle between 21 million and 25 million annual applications for the delayed welfare reform project.

The new contract is scheduled to end on April 30, 2018, with DWP considering its future options for appointment booking technology. The Government Digital Service (GDS) is not presently thought to be planning the development of a cross-departmental technology that might meet these needs
