Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living, a sub-central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of IT Augment Resource" services, aimed at supporting merger-related activities following their recent organisational merger. The procurement focused on systems and technical consultancy services necessary for the integration project. This direct award method involves a contract valued at £800,000 GBP, signed on 2 January 2026, and set to run from 5 January 2026 until 19 October 2028, with the potential for a twelve-month extension. The services will be deployed across multiple UK regions, including UKG, UKE13, UKF, UKH, and UKJ1.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, particularly for firms specialising in IT consultancy and augmentation services. Companies that can quickly provide skilled IT personnel to support large-scale organisational changes, like mergers, will find this type of contract appealing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Smart Co Consulting Limited, which has already been awarded the contract, are well-suited due to their agility and specialised expertise. Such contracts allow businesses to demonstrate their capabilities on a large platform, potentially opening doors to further opportunities in the public sector.

Procurement Information

Amplius is a newly formed organisation following a recent merger, which has introduced significant complexity in determining IT system roadmaps. To support merger-related activities as part of Amplius' integration project, we require external IT augmentation resources. There is an urgent need to accommodate unplanned demand and fill resource gaps that cannot be met internally. If we failed to implement this engagement, merger activity would take longer, increasing our operational costs and potentially impacting delivery service to our customers.
