Summary of the contracting process

Defra procured an ASITE licence for use in its information technology environment. The requirement is for software licensing, associated IT support and related services, within the broad category of IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support (CPV 72000000). The service is delivered for Defra from Worthing, West Sussex, covering the South East of England. The buying organisation is Defra. The procurement concerns a single licence requirement rather than construction works, physical goods or a wider systems implementation. It is relevant to software vendors, licensing partners and IT service providers able to supply and support ASITE for a public sector customer, particularly businesses operating in the construction or project information management software market.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Asite Solutions Limited. Defra used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 29 May 2026 for £144,000 including the stated currency of GBP, covering the period from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published suitability information identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to one supplier, with the requirement evaluated through the framework call-off route.

This procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for an ASITE software licence supported over a one-year operating period. It is most relevant to software publishers, authorised licensing partners and IT providers with direct ASITE capability, experience managing subscription or licence arrangements, and the operational capacity to support a government customer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to understand public-sector procurement through framework call-offs, provide reliable access to the platform, and support users throughout the service term. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist software or support businesses may be able to compete, provided they can demonstrate the necessary product knowledge, service resilience and account-management capability. Experience with project information management or construction-sector collaboration platforms would be directly relevant.
