Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency is procuring an APHA Digital Audit Platform. The requirement is categorised as information technology services, covering the provision of a digital platform for audit activity. The procurement data also classifies the main category as goods, so businesses should assess whether their platform product and associated technology services fit the requirement. Delivery is associated with Birmingham, including the B3 1QA area, and the wider United Kingdom and international locations, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This suits suppliers able to provide an audit-focused digital platform for a public agency operating across multiple locations and jurisdictions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at noon. The contract was awarded to Ideagen Technology Ltd on 30 July 2026 for £84,195.80 including the stated currency, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £84,195.80. Animal and Plant Health Agency is the buyer. The recorded award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information identifies the digital audit platform requirement but does not set out an evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from the Animal and Plant Health Agency for a specialist digital audit platform delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven audit, compliance or assurance platform, with functionality suitable for managing audit activity across a geographically dispersed organisation. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established software providers or technology service businesses that can support implementation, user adoption, maintenance and ongoing platform operation, rather than companies supplying general-purpose hardware alone. Framework access is commercially important because this procurement route was a framework call-off. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller technology business with a mature product, dependable delivery capability and public-sector readiness could be well placed, potentially alongside delivery partners where broader capacity is needed.
