UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc is seeking software-as-a-service tools for procurement cost estimation and demand planning. The two capabilities are intended to support cost-effective delivery and supply-chain resilience. Cost Estimation covers procurement cost-estimation software; Demand Planning Tool covers procurement demand-planning software. The services are for the SSE Group and are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Suppliers can offer a packaged software product or relevant software services for one of these needs. The buyer is a transmission utility, so the requirement is focused on procurement planning and supporting supply-chain decisions rather than general-purpose software development.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with negotiation and shortlisting. The procurement is divided into two lots, and a supplier may bid for either or both but can be awarded only one. The buyer set 11 November 2026 at 17:00 for enquiries and 13 November 2026 at 17:00 for expressions of interest; the planned award decision date is 14 December 2026. Each lot is planned to run from 31 March 2027 to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £1,364,547 for Cost Estimation and £2,392,303 for Demand Planning Tool, excluding VAT. Each lot uses technical questions on experience and suitability as its stated evaluation basis, weighted at 100%; technical pre-qualification is used to shortlist six candidates per lot.

Both lots are marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, and the requirement may suit software providers with SaaS products for procurement cost modelling or demand planning. Competition is based on technical capability rather than stated economic selection criteria. Suppliers will need to demonstrate relevant experience and the suitability of their proposed solution through technical questions and pre-qualification. The two lots address distinct functions, so firms with a focused product can pursue the matching requirement; providers with capability across both can submit for either or both, while the award limit means they cannot receive both. The framework is intended for use by SSE Group businesses, with up to two participants overall and awards made without reopening competition.
