    Brief

    This is an extension of the existing Life in the UK Test delivery contract with PSI Services (UK). The Life in the UK Test is a mandatory examination for individuals applying for British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain. PSI Services (UK) currently provides the testing infrastructure, administration, and invigilation services for test centers across the United Kingdom. This contract extension covers the continuation of these services, including test delivery, candidate management, result processing, and support for the network of approved test locations. Suppliers should understand this is primarily a service continuity arrangement with an established testing provider rather than a competitive procurement for a new testing service.
