UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by ASTER GROUP LIMITED, a sub-central government public authority, is currently in the planning stage for their "Asset Technology" project. This endeavour focuses on the integration of digital platforms for optimising workforce planning, asset management, and more within the services sector, concentrating particularly on data services. The project is based in Devizes, UK, and involves a planned procurement notice published on 22nd May 2025, with preliminary market engagement occurring via webinars on 31st March and 4th April 2025. Key contract timelines indicate a start date of 1st September 2025, running through 31st August 2030, and prospective suppliers can look forward to future notice by 30th June 2025.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for technology and data solution providers with expertise in asset management systems and data integration. Ideal candidates for this contract will have solutions that can integrate within an existing Microsoft Dynamics-based ecosystem, providing real-time mobile capabilities and predictive maintenance. Businesses, especially those classified as SMEs with experience in partnering with housing providers or asset-intensive sectors, are well-suited to compete, as ASTER is looking for partners who can drive innovation, improve operational efficiencies, and enhance customer engagement through technology. This could significantly boost business profiles that align with Aster's strategic objectives of enhancing service quality and operational efficiency.
