UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Riverside Group Limited intends to procure a cloud-based social value and sustainability monitoring and management system. The software will enable the organisation to capture, manage, monitor, verify and report social value and sustainability commitments across its procurement activities and contracts. It is expected to support the full lifecycle, from procurement and supplier selection through contract mobilisation and delivery to reporting, assurance and continuous improvement. The system should provide a transparent, auditable and evidence-based way to manage environmental, social and economic outcomes. This is a software and information systems requirement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The planned contract covers one requirement and is being led by The Riverside Group Limited, a public undertaking.

This procurement is at the planning stage: The Riverside Group Limited has announced its intention to procure and is consulting the market before issuing an invitation to tender. Preliminary market engagement is being used to shape the future tender, including making its questions efficient, deliverable and effective. The buyer expects to use a below-threshold open competition. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible renewal or extension to 30 November 2031. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. No contract value or budget is stated. Suppliers are being invited to contribute confidential feedback through the buyer’s market-engagement process, rather than submit a tender at this stage.

This will suit software providers with a cloud platform for measuring and managing social value and sustainability across procurement and contract portfolios. Relevant suppliers should be able to support supplier selection, contract mobilisation, delivery monitoring, evidence collection, verification, reporting, assurance and continuous improvement in one joined-up system. Strong capability in environmental, social and economic outcome measurement will be important, alongside auditable workflows, transparent records and reliable management information. Providers experienced in public-sector procurement, supplier engagement and contract performance management are likely to be well placed. The market engagement offers an opportunity to explain existing functionality, identify practical measurement approaches and help shape proportionate tender questions before the planned competition reaches the market.
