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.
One Login enables users to authenticate securely with multiple applications and websites by using only one set of credentials built by the Government Digital Service.
