UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Ltd is planning to procure an information technology asset management (ITAM) tool. The system is intended to support effective management of software assets across the organisation, covering software package and information-system requirements. The procurement is classified as goods. Delivery is expected across the United Kingdom. The planned buyer is a central government public authority based in Swindon. The requirement is presented as a single IT asset management service and software package rather than separate operational lots. Businesses supplying ITAM platforms, software asset management systems or related information systems should find the subject matter relevant, particularly where their products support organisation-wide control and management of software assets. The requirement concerns the provision of a technology tool, rather than general IT consultancy or unrelated hardware supply.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure and has not invited tenders. It is structured as one planned lot, assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 1 July 2030. The buyer has planned preliminary market engagement through an expression of interest. Businesses wishing to participate were expected to respond by email before 17:00 on Wednesday 29 July 2026, referencing DDaT26202, in order to view the specific requirements. The record does not set out a procurement procedure or evaluation criteria. The expression of interest is market engagement, not a tender submission or contract award process.

The requirement is likely to suit suppliers with an established IT asset management product focused on software assets and organisation-wide visibility or control. Relevant businesses may include providers of software asset management platforms, licensing and entitlement management tools, software inventory systems, and information systems that help public sector organisations manage their software estate effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises are explicitly identified as suitable for the planned lot, so the requirement may be accessible to specialist technology firms as well as larger software providers. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how their tool supports effective management of software assets across an organisation and to share specific requirements during the planned market engagement. This is a preparation opportunity for capable ITAM suppliers; it is not yet an invitation to bid.
