Summary of the contracting process

Trinity House is procuring Maximo-related software services from one supplier for its IT estate across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers three linked work packages: acting as a third-party reseller for Trinity House’s IBM Passport Advantage subscription, including additional licences if needed; providing second-line Maximo support, with Trinity House IT as first line and IBM as third line; and upgrading Maximo version 7.6.1 to the latest stable, supported Maximo Application Suite deployment. The supplier will also provide related Maximo consultancy when required. This is a software-related services opportunity, covering software and information systems and associated support and consultancy. The requirement is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Trinity House invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure with conditions of participation. Only suppliers meeting those conditions are invited to tender. There is one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 August 2026 at 17:00, and expressions of interest by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The buyer’s award decision was due by 23 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract is planned from 3 November 2026 to 2 November 2027, with four optional one-year extensions available, giving a maximum end date of 2 November 2031. Its estimated value is £692,000 excluding VAT, or £830,400 including VAT. Evaluation gives 25% to price and 75% to quality, including upgrade methodology, Maximo-to-MAS experience, security, transition planning, legal terms, support service levels and employment practices.

This opportunity suits a supplier able to combine IBM licensing resale, Maximo support and specialist Maximo Application Suite upgrade consultancy rather than delivering only one service. Strong bidders will be able to demonstrate successful Maximo-to-MAS upgrades for both on-premises and cloud-hosted solutions, supported by a credible transition project plan and consultancy methodology. They will need to provide ongoing second-line support with a suitable service level agreement and offer clear fixed pricing for each work package, price stability and cost-adjustment arrangements. Technical capability must include single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, secure Microsoft 365 integration, encryption in transit and at rest, data ownership protections and UK GDPR compliance. Cyber Essentials is the minimum stated security accreditation. Suppliers also need suitable financial standing, insurance cover and evidence addressing employment, skills and pay inequality.
