Deloitte

The Government Digital Service awarded a contract worth as much as £9 million (US$11.8 million) to business and government consulting giant Deloitte to build a digital ID app. The service contract covers a two-year period.

This £9m contract is the second awarded to Deloitte for work on One Login – which aims to provide a single identity for users of all online government services – following an earlier £4.8m deal to develop the One Login apps for Apple and Android.

The two-year £4.8m contract forms a part of the wider One Login programme.
