Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured a cloud-based construction and engineering project management platform, namely the Asite software solution. The service supports management of construction and engineering projects through a cloud-based platform. The procurement was categorised as IT services, covering software and related support. Delivery is recorded as taking place in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns continued use of the existing Asite platform rather than a change to an alternative common data environment solution. Natural Resources Wales is the buying organisation, based in Cardiff, and the service relates to its construction and engineering project activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Asite Solutions. The authority chose a direct award after concluding that moving from its current Asite platform would bring disproportionate cost, operational disruption and project delivery risk, despite alternative common data environment solutions being available. The award value is £500,000. The contract period runs from 31 October 2026 to 31 October 2031, with signature scheduled for 31 October 2026. The process comprised one lot, marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as pending, although the tender itself is complete. No competitive evaluation criteria are described; the stated basis for selection was continuity with the existing platform and avoidance of transition risks.

For suppliers competing when Natural Resources Wales next requires this platform, credibility will depend on providing a cloud-based construction and engineering project management solution that can support its project delivery needs. The outcome shows that continuity with the authority’s existing Asite environment was decisive: a rival provider would need to demonstrate how its solution could meet the requirement without imposing disproportionate transition costs, operational disruption or delivery risk. Relevant strengths include implementation and migration planning, integration with established project information workflows, dependable ongoing software support and the capacity to sustain a multi-year service. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the lot, indicating that supplier size alone was not a barrier, although the selected supplier’s familiarity with the incumbent platform shaped this award.
