Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment criteria were used for the procurement of the UK’s Passenger Locator Form contract.

When the requirements for a Passenger Locator Form were established, it was identified it could be delivered within the existing contracts and infrastructure of the Home Office’s online immigration application service, Access UK.

As such, the form was established reusing the architecture and components already available, allowing for it to be delivered at pace to help combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
