Summary of the contracting process

The Restoration and Renewal Delivery Authority Ltd, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, is currently in the planning stage of a tender, titled "DA1545," to procure a Digital Services Engineering Partner (DSEP). This procurement falls under the services category, specifically IT services, consulting, software development, internet, and support, with a focus in the London region. The project aims to deliver integrated IT service management and engineering services over five years with contracts valued at £19.5 million net and £23.4 million gross. A virtual supplier briefing is scheduled for early August 2026, following a request for information (RFI) phase ending on 29 July 2026, which invites expressions of interest and suggestions from the market.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those experienced in IT service management, ServiceNow development, and project delivery. The project's scope provides a chance for firms to implement and manage ITIL-aligned services, including a service desk and on-site support, at prestigious sites like the Palace and QEII buildings. The Authority encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), emphasizing innovation and scalability, with an opportunity to engage further through individual clarification sessions. Businesses ready to deliver via a time and materials basis and capable of adapting to changing requirements will find this a promising opportunity for growth and strategic partnerships.
