UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office bought software development and associated support services through a call-off contract. The work covers IT consulting, software development, internet services and support for the organisation’s operations. The buying organisation is the UK Hydrographic Office, based in Taunton, Somerset. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as one lot and is categorised as services. It was awarded through the Government Commercial Agency Technology Services 4 Framework, indicating a need for suppliers able to provide a broad technology delivery and support capability rather than a standalone software product. The service is intended to support the UKHO’s ongoing technology requirements under an established public-sector framework route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive call-off under a framework, using a selective procedure. SCRUMCONNECT LIMITED was awarded the single lot on 15 June 2026 for £11,500,000 excluding VAT (£13,800,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and runs from 15 July 2026 to 14 July 2029, with an extension option of three further 12-month periods, allowing a maximum end date of 14 July 2032. Evaluation was competitive, with the award made under the framework. Contract performance is measured through on-time delivery, requirement fulfilment, service-level breach rates, service review attendance and delivery of commitments on economic inequality, climate change and equal opportunity.

This award shows sustained public-sector demand for an integrated software development and support partner able to work within a government technology framework. A credible competitor would need strong software engineering and IT support capability, together with the capacity to deliver multiple work packages against statements of work and agreed acceptance criteria. The service model requires reliable milestone delivery, resolution of issues within agreed service levels and regular participation in service reviews. Suppliers should also be able to evidence quality assurance, operational governance and disciplined performance reporting. Experience delivering social value commitments addressing economic inequality, climate change and equal opportunity would be important, alongside the ability to manage a substantial, long-running public-sector technology service.
