The Home Office has increased the estimated value of its upcoming passport manufacturing and personalisation contract to £576 million over 12 years, pushed the start date from September 2027 to August 2028, and raised the expected annual passport volume to eight million; it also directly awarded IBM a £5.88 million contract for biometric system licences and support. Suppliers will re-engage with the procurement later in the year and potential vendors can ask questions after signing an NDA.
