UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Connected Places Catapult is procuring professional services to define a Digital Whole-Life product. The work involves identifying the product opportunity, setting its scope and developing it as a commercial offering for UK domestic markets and priority export markets. This is a product-definition and market-development assignment rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The procurement is categorised as services, with the associated classification describing education and training services. It may suit consultancies, product strategists, commercialisation specialists and organisations experienced in turning emerging digital or built-environment concepts into viable products. The buyer is Connected Places Catapult, a public undertaking based in London. The requirement concerns markets across the UK and selected overseas export markets, rather than a single delivery site.

The process has reached tender: Connected Places Catapult invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot. The tender value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The single lot is recorded with the same numerical amounts in AED, so bidders should confirm the applicable currency in the tender documents. Questions and bids were due by 11 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period was set from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The evaluation basis is set out in the tender documentation. The requirement is below the applicable threshold, and the tender was issued under the Procurement Act 2023.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to take a digital whole-life concept from initial definition through to a commercially credible product proposition. Relevant strengths include market research, user and customer insight, product strategy, service design, commercial modelling, proposition development and route-to-market planning. Experience of UK domestic markets and assessing priority export markets would be useful, as would an understanding of how digital products can support whole-life approaches in connected places or related sectors. Suppliers should be able to identify and scope a product, test its commercial potential and develop a clear offer for potential customers. It is likely to favour a compact specialist consultancy or multidisciplinary team combining product, commercial and market-development capability.
