Summary of the contracting process

Stonewater Limited procured a subscription to a DevOps solutions software platform. The purchase is classified as software and information systems, for use across the United Kingdom. This is a software subscription rather than a works contract or a general-purpose IT services requirement. The named buying organisation is Stonewater Limited, a public authority. The procurement covers one lot and the contracted supplier is Gearset Limited. The stated scope is the platform subscription; no further functional specification or named product is included in the available procurement details.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Gearset Limited. Stonewater used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2029. Its stated value is USD 191,646 excluding tax, or USD 229,975.20 including tax. The process was divided into one lot, which is complete. The procurement details do not identify evaluation criteria, and the direct award was made without a competitive evaluation. The contract is recorded as active.

This award shows demand at Stonewater for a subscription to a DevOps software platform, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Suppliers positioned for comparable future requirements would need to offer a suitable platform subscription and support use across Stonewater’s operations. The current route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome provides a reference point for the buyer’s purchasing approach as well as the type of product selected. Gearset Limited, a large supplier, was selected. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its DevOps platform fits the buyer’s requirements and can be supplied at comparable organisational scale. No specific technical functions, integrations, service levels, accreditations or supplier experience requirements are stated, so these cannot be treated as established conditions for competing.
