Engagement
Engagement deadline
15 August 2025
Engagement process description
The BASP Team will carry out the engagement to gain feedback from suppliers on their capability, capacity and interest to deliver the outlined requirements of BASP. The BASP Team will outline these in more detail during a market engagement day presentation, which will give suppliers the opportunity to give their initial views on the requirements. For those suppliers interested in having more in-depth conversations, supplier 1-2-1 sessions will also be arranged.
It is the Home Office's intention to engage those suppliers that express an interest in this opportunity. In the event of high demand, the Home Office reserve the right to limit attendance to ensure fair and manageable engagement. Where attendance is limited, efforts will be made to ensure a representative cross-section of the market is included.
Suppliers who are unable to attend the Market Engagement Day will not be disadvantaged in any future procurement and will be provided with access to any relevant materials or outputs shared with suppliers in attendance.
Process:
1. To express an interest, participants must first be registered on the Home Office eSourcing Suite. If you have not yet registered, this can be done online at https://homeoffice.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html by following the link. Please note that, to register, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering and who will be entering into a contract if invited to do so.
2. Send an 'Expression of Interest' email following the instructions:
Email to: baspprocurement@homeoffice.gov.uk

3. The email must include the following:
• Supplier name (as on Companies House)
• DUNS number
• Jaggaer registration details
• Contact person - Name, job title, email address
4. The suppliers will be added to the NDA event on Jaggaer to access the NDA. This will contain the instruction to access and return signed copies.
