Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) bought managed support services for solution development, within the broader field of IT consulting, software development and support (CPV 72000000). The requirement is described as a call-off contract for managed support services; the supplied scope does not break down particular solutions, technologies or deliverables. Delivery is associated with Swindon and the procurement also lists the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This points to a service requirement supporting DESNZ’s solution development, rather than a purchase of standalone goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Corporate Project Solutions Limited, an SME. DESNZ selected the supplier through a longlist and shortlist exercise under the G-Cloud 13 framework, using a selective framework call-off; no evaluation scoring or award criteria are reported. The award date was 7 November 2024. The original estimated value was £224,200, and a variation increased the total contract value by £112,100 to £336,300, excluding VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 8 November 2024 to 7 November 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 14 October 2024. The procurement is presented as one managed-support requirement, with no separate lots described. SME suitability is indicated.

This award shows DESNZ’s demand for managed support focused on solution development, sourced through the G-Cloud 13 framework rather than an open standalone competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide managed IT support that can contribute to developing and supporting solutions, and be able to meet DESNZ’s delivery needs across the stated geographic reach. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement indicated that SMEs were suitable, so this requirement was not confined to large providers. The contract’s multi-year scale suggests a need for capacity to sustain support over an extended service period. Businesses already positioned on the relevant framework, with demonstrable managed-service and solution-development capability, are the closest fit to the route and requirement evidenced here.
