UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DN Colleges Group is procuring services from an experienced Salesforce implementation partner. The work covers designing, configuring, integrating, testing and deploying Salesforce Education Cloud and Salesforce Marketing Cloud to support the Group’s digital student journey. This includes the journey from initial enquiry through application, interview, offer and preparation for enrolment, with integration into the Group’s existing systems. The requirement is for software implementation, implementation planning and software integration consultancy services. It covers implementation partner services only; Salesforce subscription licences are outside this procurement and will be obtained separately. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The opportunity is suitable for suppliers providing end-to-end Salesforce CRM implementation and integration services for education or similarly complex organisations.

The process has reached tender: DN Colleges Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is one lot. Enquiries were due by 10 August 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027, with an extension option of one further 12-month period, allowing it to run until 6 September 2028. The estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT and £144,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on 60% quality and 40% price. Electronic submission is allowed. Tenderers must provide a fixed implementation price, a fixed 12-month support arrangement and optional day rates for approved additional work.

This opportunity suits an established Salesforce implementation partner able to take responsibility for the full delivery lifecycle: solution design, configuration, integration with current systems, testing and deployment. Suppliers should be capable of working across Salesforce Education Cloud and Marketing Cloud and of translating a complex student-recruitment journey into a usable CRM solution. Relevant experience in education, student services, admissions or other organisations with comparable enquiry-to-enrolment processes would be valuable. The appointed partner must also provide post-implementation support based on 15 call-off days, with capacity to undertake approved additional work using agreed day rates. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, offering a potential route for suitably experienced specialist firms and mission-led organisations.
