UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office, a central government public authority located in London, UK, is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for an "Enterprise Architecture SaaS Tool." This initiative, classified under the software package and information systems industry category, is part of a market engagement exercise intended to gather valuable information on market offerings and capabilities. Suppliers are encouraged to express their interest and participate via the Home Office Jaggaer portal, with critical deadlines for Jaggaer registration set at midday on 14 April and RFI responses due by close of play on 20 April 2026. This exercise does not yet imply any procurement commitments, but rather aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of potential solutions available on the market. The contract period, should the procurement proceed, is anticipated to commence on 1 September 2026 and conclude on 31 August 2027.

This opportunity opens up significant potential for business growth, particularly for suppliers specialising in software package and information systems. Those with innovative solutions in enterprise architecture tools that include scalable deployment models, robust security frameworks, and seamless integration capabilities are well-suited to engage in this market engagement exercise. Small and medium enterprises will find this an excellent opportunity to showcase their offerings and engage with a central government body, potentially positioning themselves advantageously for any future procurement processes. Participation in this exercise can also help suppliers refine their understanding of the Home Office's requirements and prepare for any upcoming tenders.

Notice Title

Enterprise Architecture SaaS Tool Request for Information

Notice Description

This Market Engagement Exercise (MEE) is being undertaken to understand current market offerings and capabilities in the Enterprise Architecture (EA) tooling landscape, particularly in the context of a large, federated public-sector environment. Responses will be used to build an informed view of the art of the possible, including high-level capabilities, deployment models, security and data-handling approaches, integration patterns, and typical commercial constructs. This MEE is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a procurement, competition, down-selection, or commitment to procure, appoint, or enter into any contractual arrangement. Participation will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement activity, should one take place. Any future commercial or procurement activity would be subject to separate approval and conducted in accordance with applicable procurement regulations.
