Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has initiated the "FCP: Rural Payments Service Continuity Project" under the IT services sector, classified as consulting, software development, internet, and support. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with the documents being available since 31st July 2024. The tender is set to an open procedure, with submissions required electronically via the DEFRA portal. All interested parties must submit their tenders by 2nd September 2024. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st February 2025 and will run until 31st January 2028. Services will primarily be delivered in London, UK, with a total contract value estimated at £27,000,000.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services to secure a long-term contract with a valued governmental department. The project is particularly suited for established companies capable of providing comprehensive IT consulting, software development, and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this opportunity less aligned due to the tender requirements. Businesses equipped to manage significant governmental contracts within the set timelines and capable of offering robust technological solutions stand to benefit immensely from participating in this procurement.
