UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oak National Academy Limited procured software engineering services for migrating curriculum data from a legacy PostgreSQL schema to a new platform. The work covers approximately 60 database tables and associated APIs, while maintaining continuity of existing services. Required activities include developing TypeScript and Drizzle migration scripts, configuring Hasura metadata, creating relationships and computed fields, developing SQL and materialised views, validating migrated data against existing API outputs, adapting internal API endpoints to the new schema, and supporting CI/CD and related engineering tooling. This is a software development services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Manchester and operates as a public authority in central government.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Computer Conquest Limited. The award was made on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £56,000 excluding VAT and £67,200 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was classified as software development services. The selected supplier is a UK company, and the procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The award covered the full migration and associated engineering service requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Oak National Academy for specialist engineering support around database migration and platform change. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience migrating relational data from PostgreSQL into a redesigned schema while protecting continuity of live services. Relevant capability includes TypeScript and Drizzle development, Hasura metadata configuration, SQL and materialised-view design, API adaptation, data validation against existing outputs, and CI/CD support. Suppliers should be able to work across database, backend and engineering-tooling tasks rather than offering a narrowly focused development service. The award to a small or medium-sized enterprise indicates that a specialist SME with hands-on software engineering capability can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement.
