UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency is seeking ServiceNow Specialist Managed Services through a direct award process, with no competitive tender involved. Categorised under IT services, the contracting process is employing an open procurement method with a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement, falling within the public authority sub-central government classification, is accelerated due to pre-selected tenderers in the category of utilities, not central government. This service-oriented contract, valued at £398,988 with a gross value reflecting £478,785.60, will cover the UK region with deliveries expected throughout the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with the submission deadline set for 10th April 2026 and the anticipated award conclusion on 12th April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and support services. As the procurement type involves a direct award focusing on technical specifications and continuity of service, businesses with established proficiency in ServiceNow solutions would be well-placed to benefit. Furthermore, the accelerated procedure due to pre-selected tenderers provides an efficient entry point for businesses familiar with the demands of utility services within government frameworks. SMEs, in particular, may find suitability given the contract's acknowledgment of their capabilities and the opportunity to engage in service delivery across the public sector landscape.
