Summary of the contracting process

Supply Chain Coordination Limited intends to procure a commercial technology and data platform to transform commercial and procurement operations. The requirement is for services covering end-to-end integration across the procurement lifecycle, standardised and auditable processes, a single source of truth for commercial data, automation, self-service reporting and data-driven decision-making. The scope may include procurement software, implementation, systems integration, data management, AI-enabled automation and associated support services. This is a UK-wide requirement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Supply Chain Coordination Limited, a public authority responsible for coordinating supply chain activity. The procurement software and development elements are classified under CPV codes 48490000, 72212490 and 48100000.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is a competitive flexible procedure for an above-threshold services contract. The requirement is arranged as one planned lot. The indicative date for the next notice is 30 November 2026. The expected contract period is 1 August 2027 to 31 July 2031, with a possible extension to 31 July 2033 and a renewal option. The estimated value is £2.5 million excluding VAT and £3 million including VAT. These dates and values are the buyer’s current expectations at the planning stage and may be refined before the procurement reaches the market.

This requirement should suit technology providers able to combine commercial and procurement software with implementation, systems integration, data management and ongoing support. Suppliers with expertise in connecting systems across the procurement lifecycle, standardising processes and maintaining reliable, auditable commercial data are likely to be relevant. Experience of automation, AI-enabled workflows, self-service reporting and data-driven decision-making will also align with the buyer’s stated objectives. The requirement may suit software companies, systems integrators, data specialists and managed service providers, including organisations working in partnership to cover the full scope. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller or mission-led suppliers may wish to prepare their capability and delivery arrangements.
