Summary of the contracting process

DEFRA procured a delivery management system for Weybridge, specifically a system supporting the booking and management of deliveries. The requirement is classified as computer-related professional services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with DEFRA’s site on Woodham Lane, Addlestone, and the Weybridge area. The work concerns the provision of a technology-enabled operational service rather than physical delivery, construction or general consultancy. Businesses relevant to this requirement would typically provide booking platforms, delivery scheduling tools, logistics workflow software or related implementation and support services for public-sector operations. The buyer is DEFRA, the UK government department responsible for the requirement, and the selected supplier is Datascope Systems Limited.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 10 August 2026 at 12:00. DEFRA awarded the contract to Datascope Systems Limited on 12 August 2026 for £12,795 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement’s estimated value range was £12,795 to £20,000 in GBP. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The available evaluation information establishes the direct-award route, but does not set out a separate quality, price or technical scoring basis. This was a single requirement rather than a lot-based procurement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a delivery booking and management platform within DEFRA’s operational environment, at a modest single-site scale. A credible future competitor would need a proven system for recording delivery bookings, coordinating schedules and supporting the day-to-day administration of deliveries, together with the technical capability to implement and maintain it. Experience supplying dependable software or professional technology services to public-sector or similarly controlled organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. Providers should also be able to work within a direct, below-threshold purchasing route and show that their service can be delivered for a focused operational requirement. The recorded buyer preference indicates that this opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
