UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero intends to procure continuous improvement action tracker software for ICS Commercial. The system will support the effective management, monitoring and reporting of Continuous Improvement Activities, replacing a manual Excel-based process with a more efficient, reliable and sustainable digital system. This is a software supply requirement, including associated software supply services, rather than construction or consultancy work. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Limited is managing the procurement process on behalf of the department as its shared service provider. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, with a related classification for software supply services. The planned procurement has one requirement covering the complete solution.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the department has stated an intention to procure but has not issued an invitation to tender. It plans to use an open procedure for a below-threshold goods procurement. The buyer is carrying out preliminary market engagement through an expression of interest, with responses requested by 17:00 on 24 August 2026. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option to renew or extend to 31 March 2029. The procurement has one lot, suitable for SMEs, and the recorded estimated value is £0. Suppliers should reference DDaT26352 when responding to the market engagement. Any future competition will concern the complete action-tracker software requirement.

This engagement will suit software providers able to supply and support a reliable action-tracking system for a commercial or public-sector environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to offer configurable workflow, activity management, monitoring, reporting and replacement of spreadsheet-based processes with a sustainable digital service. Businesses with experience of implementing software that improves governance, visibility and operational control should prepare to explain how their solution would manage Continuous Improvement Activities from recording through monitoring and reporting. The requirement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist software companies as well as larger suppliers may be well placed to contribute. At this stage, suppliers should use the market engagement to demonstrate product fit, implementation capability and experience delivering dependable business software before any future tender is issued.
