Summary of the contracting process

The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) procured a cloud-based work management solution for organisation-wide project, programme, portfolio and resource management across the full work lifecycle. The aim was to provide a coherent capability that is straightforward to manage, rather than a fragmented or complex set of tools. The requirement covers project management software, database management, software development, IT and data management services. The solution is intended to support WRAP’s work across the United Kingdom. Planisware UK Ltd was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Planisware UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with a period running from 30 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £300,000. The competition used an open competitive flexible procedure, with written proposals and scenario responses, shortlisting and supplier demonstrations. Bids were assessed on price (25%) and quality: relevant experience and expertise (15%), functional fit and product capability (20%), technical architecture and SaaS maturity (10%), social value (10%), and the strength and evidence of the delivery approach and methodology (20%). Economic and technical selection requirements applied, as set out in the procurement documents.

For suppliers competing for a future WRAP requirement of this kind, credibility rests on delivering a joined-up cloud work management platform that supports projects, programmes, portfolios and resource management throughout their lifecycle. Relevant experience and product capability matter, as do a mature software-as-a-service offering and a sound technical architecture. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate a proportionate, well-evidenced implementation method, from project initiation through solution design, build and testing, and show how they will provide enhancements and ongoing support. The contract’s performance measures point to expectations around meeting milestones, controlling budget and schedule, resolving defects and support requests promptly, and maintaining stakeholder satisfaction. Strong evidence of social value and alignment with WRAP’s FREDIE principles also formed part of the quality assessment.
