Opportunity overview

The PSFA maintains a single view of UK-registered companies, directors and connected entities to support policy, regulatory, and fraud prevention activity. SNAP 2.0 will build on the foundations of SNAP 1.0 with a fully Azure compatible solution that integrates large-scale entity data, advanced analytics, AI and user-centric visualisation to enable Public Bodies to make informed risk decisions to prevent and detect fraud. The contract term will be up to 4 years (2+1+1), and is potentially worth up to £3m per year if all options are used. Please note that the Invitation to Tender (ITT) is subject to approval from the Cabinet Office Investment Committee, and the competition is expected to be run in early 2026.
