Mastek has been awarded a contract to provide strategic DevOps capabilities for the Home Office Biometrics (HOB) programme.

The programme has been let under the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Digital Outcomes and Specialists (DOS) Framework.

As part of the HOB programme contract, Mastek will develop robust and resilient solutions that comply with law enforcement and immigration user requirements.

Users of this service may include those in law enforcement, immigration, border force and HMPO staff who need to use biometrics in any number of situations and locations including custody suites, mobile locations, borders, passport offices and visa application centres.

Prahlad Koti, Managing Director at Mastek UK, commented: “Mastek has formed a strong relationship with the Home Office since we started working with them five years ago.

“We recognise the strategic importance of the HOB programme requirements and look forward to using our expertise in helping the Home Office protect borders and communities.”
