Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), based in London, has awarded a contract for the "APHA's Stock Management and Sales Order Processing System 2025" project to Integrated Business Software and Solutions Limited. This contract, which falls under the industry category of information technology services, involves the integration and support for the Integra ERP Stock, Sales and Assets System with Oracle EBS. The procurement process was executed through a direct award method, with the rationale being the supplier's unique position due to deep familiarity with existing systems and intellectual property rights. The contract, valued at £203,737.18 gross, is set to commence on 1st December 2025 and conclude on 30th November 2028. Key included metrics highlight regular service reviews. The award, related to the tender identified as C32113, was made official on 28th November 2025. This procurement activity is part of an ongoing government-wide initiative to modernise procurement systems.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specializing in cloud-based IT services, particularly those experienced with Oracle EBS and ERP systems. Given the direct award nature of the procurement, businesses with proprietary systems similar to Integra and those already familiar with the system could find niche opportunities in offering bespoke solutions or support services. By aligning with government initiatives like the Synergy Programme, businesses can further enhance their profiles and potentially tap into additional government contracts, fostering sustained growth and expansion within the public and central government sectors.
