UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council intends to procure a software application and management system to administer the Crisis and Resilience Fund. The requirement is for software and information systems, with delivery for the Isle of Wight. The system is intended to support management of the fund; the current description does not set out further functions or detailed technical scope. This is a technology procurement rather than a supply of physical goods, despite its goods category classification. Suppliers offering configurable fund-management platforms, case or grant-management software, or implementation and support services may find the subject relevant, subject to the detailed requirements being confirmed when the procurement is developed.

The process is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to publish the procurement opportunity on 18 December 2026; this is an indicative date, not a bid deadline. The council says the future procurement and contract dates are estimates. The planned contract period is 31 January 2027 to 30 January 2032. The estimated value is £16,000 excluding VAT (£19,200 including VAT). The planned procurement is presented as a single lot, with no procedure or evaluation approach described at this stage. The council invited market engagement through a questionnaire, with a response date of 18 November 2026, to inform development of the requirement.

The council has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses are suitable for this requirement, which may make it relevant to specialist software suppliers as well as larger providers. Businesses with experience supplying or configuring systems for administering public funds could be well placed to prepare, particularly where their products support secure and efficient fund management. The expected contract period suggests a requirement for a system maintained over several years, so suppliers able to provide continuing technical support and service continuity may be relevant. The council has not yet set out specific technical capabilities, implementation expectations, capacity requirements or accreditations; suppliers can use the planned market-engagement questionnaire to share relevant solutions and help shape the future requirement.
