Summary of the contracting process

The Insolvency Service procured maintenance and support services for Wisdom and Kofax, two core applications used for its central electronic document and records management (EDRM) and document capture capabilities. The requirement is classified as document management system services (CPV 48311100). The work supports the organisation’s ability to manage, store, retrieve and capture documents through these applications, rather than the supply of new software or general information technology services. The buying organisation is the Insolvency Service, whose address is in Birmingham. The procurement is categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to Wavenet Limited. The awarded value is £862,156.56, with the contract running from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2028. The overall estimated value range was £862,156.56 to £1,293,234.84. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with submissions due by 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single service procurement rather than being divided into lots. The award is active, and the contract period matches the awarded period. A redacted signed contract is associated with the award.

This award indicates sustained demand from the Insolvency Service for specialist support of established Wisdom and Kofax platforms. Suppliers well placed for comparable work will need practical capability in maintaining and supporting electronic document and records management systems, document capture software, and the operational services that keep these systems reliable for a public-sector organisation. Experience supporting both applications together is particularly relevant, as the requirement covers their combined role in the organisation’s document handling environment. Businesses that can provide structured application support, diagnose issues across connected document workflows, and operate effectively through a public-sector framework route would be credible competitors when this requirement next reaches the market. The stated suitability also indicates that smaller and voluntary-sector providers may be able to participate.
