Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office procured Salesforce Senior Architect and Chief Technology Officer services. The requirement covers strategic review and planning for information systems and technology, focused on Salesforce architecture and related senior technical leadership. Services are delivered on a time-and-materials basis, allowing the buyer to draw on architectural and CTO expertise as required during the engagement. The work is classified as information systems or technology strategic review and planning services and is delivered in London. This is a services procurement for an organisation seeking specialist Salesforce capability to support its technology direction, architecture and planning. Businesses with established Salesforce architecture practices and senior technology advisory capacity would recognise the core requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 2pm. Salesforce UK Limited was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026 for £789,406.56 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2028, covering 24 months of time-and-materials Salesforce Senior Architect and CTO services. The awarded value is the same as the procurement’s stated estimated value. The award is active, and this is a single-supplier outcome rather than a multi-lot award.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s demand for substantial, specialist Salesforce architecture and technology leadership. A credible future supplier would need senior architects able to operate at CTO level, advise on strategic information-systems planning, review existing technology arrangements and translate findings into practical Salesforce architecture decisions. Capacity to provide experienced personnel on a time-and-materials basis would be important, as would the ability to support a sustained engagement rather than a short one-off assignment. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an independent specialist practice or focused Salesforce consultancy could be relevant, provided it can demonstrate the necessary depth and delivery capacity.
