UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officers of the House of Commons and House of Lords are exploring the development of a Member’s Digital Office. The requirement is for software support services, covering the technical feasibility and development of a digital office for Members. The work is intended for the United Kingdom, with the buying organisations based in Westminster, London. This is a central government services requirement concerning digital technology, software support and the design of a service that could support parliamentary Members. Suppliers with relevant digital office, software platform or technology service capabilities may find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to advise on how such a service could be developed and supported for a public-sector environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a request for information and preliminary market engagement, rather than an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure when the procurement reaches the market. The stated estimated value is £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. The indicative contract period is 19 August 2027 to 18 August 2032. The buyer expects a subsequent notice around 18 January 2027. A market consultation is planned to gather market intelligence on interest, technical feasibility and supplier capabilities; questionnaire responses and communications are expected by 27 August 2026 through the Authority’s e-procurement portal. The procurement is arranged as one lot.

This engagement is relevant to suppliers that can contribute practical evidence about the feasibility of a Member’s Digital Office and explain the capabilities they could provide. Suitable businesses are likely to include software support providers, digital service developers, technology consultancies and suppliers experienced in designing or operating member-facing or internal digital platforms. The buyer is specifically looking to understand market interest, technical feasibility and supplier capability, so businesses able to describe possible technical approaches, support models, delivery experience and the skills needed for development should prepare their input. Organisations with public-sector digital delivery experience may be well placed to respond, particularly where they can advise on reliable software support and the development of a service for parliamentary users.
