Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) Digital Identity Service

The Money and Pensions Service’s Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP) is responsible for developing a pensions dashboards ecosystem which will enable individuals to view their pensions data via their chosen dashboard. Part of this ecosystem is an Identity Service that allows new users to verify their identity and returning users to subsequently authenticate themselves. During the ecosystem development stages, PDP has contracted with a single Identity Provider (IDP). For the future delivery of this service, PDP requires a solution that provides accessibility for the widest possible percentage of the UK population and considers inclusivity for the digitally excluded. PDP therefore wishes to engage with the identity verification and authentication market in order to identify the solutions available that fulfil this and other core requirements.
