Join our supplier engagement session on Thursday 24 July 2025 at 2pm to help shape our approach - and potentially play a central role in future delivery. To express your interest and receive an invitation to the engagement session, please submit your contact details via https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/2YBJ6D7SQ4 Introduction The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK's independent regulator for information rights. We oversee and enforce a range of legislation, including the Data Protection Act 2018, UK GDPR, and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Our role is to safeguard personal data, promote openness and accountability, and maintain public trust in how information is handled. A substantial part of our funding comes from the statutory Data Protection Fee, which organisations must pay if they process personal data and meet the relevant criteria. The fee supports our core regulatory functions; from offering advice and guidance, to carrying out investigations, and taking enforcement action where necessary. It also enables us to deliver services that help reduce the cost of compliance for organisations across the UK. Improving registration compliance is about more than recovering unpaid fees. A more complete and accurate register strengthens our ability to regulate effectively, supports fair treatment across sectors, and helps ensure that the data protection framework works as intended. It enables better planning, more targeted engagement, and ultimately, stronger outcomes for both organisations and the public. You can find more about our work at ico.org.uk. What We Know So Far. Our public register currently includes just over 1.2 million organisations. However, we estimate there could be up to 2 million more that fall within scope but have not registered. That gap represents a significant compliance risk and an estimated £75 million in unclaimed fees. Since the introduction of the GDPR in 2018, we've more than doubled the size of the register - largely through outbound campaigns based on data from Companies House and similar sources. Most recently, we've used postal campaigns to contact potential registrants. While these letters have had some success, engagement remains low - particularly among small and micro businesses. In October 2024, we issued a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to signal our intent to explore alternative approaches to increasing registration compliance. Since then, we've run a series of small-scale pilots to test different methods of identifying and engaging unregistered organisations. The results have been mixed - informative, but not conclusive enough to proceed directly to procurement. We're now seeking broader market input to help shape a more comple... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/ico-data-protection-fee-register-maximisation-delivery-partner-ocds-h6vhtk-055925) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 72300000, 79342300, 79400000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 01/11/2025 to 01/12/2026 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F041873-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-07-22T09:26:51.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T17:58:51.828Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-055925
