[Andrew McInnes]

Thanks peter, so there is no restriction from UK federation in terms of communicating with an entity such as the one I described?

Many thanks,

Andy

Most IdPs and SPs will only really communicate with entities they know about, commonly via SAML metadata. So you'll need to talk to the SP admin and exchange metadata (unless you have a trusted third party that does this for you, such as the UK Federation) and also agree on attributes (what data you need to send so they can authorize the correct set of people), -peter
