DCI Online Forms Platform Services

The Department for Education (DfE) is re-procuring an Online Forms Platform that enables the development and management of digital forms supporting a wide range of business processes and user services across DfE and ESFA. The platform currently supports over 200 online forms, with approximately 100 forms published via GOV.UK, including several business-critical services. The new solution must provide a secure, scalable low-code/no-code platform capable of rapid form development and deployment, publication through GOV.UK, workflow creation, and integration with internal and third-party systems. Key capabilities include secure evidence submission, save-and-return functionality, data validation and lookups (e.g. GIAS and Companies House), pre-population of data, reporting, CRM and Microsoft 365 integration, self-service support, and the migration of existing live forms with minimal disruption to users and departmental operations.
