This initiative falls under the category of computer-related services (CPV code 72500000) and is currently in the planning stage. A key milestone is set for engagement with potential suppliers, with the due date being 23 February 2018. The anticipated contract duration is five years, with an option for two additional years, and an estimated total contract value of £131 million for the seven-year period. An EUE Supplier Event is scheduled to take place in early May 2017 to further discuss opportunities for prospective suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in ICT services, particularly those capable of providing end-user environment solutions. Firms not only engaged in computer-related services but also those that have experience in delivering IT solutions across multiple government sites would be well-suited to compete. With 23,000 staff and potentially more Defra-affiliated organisations requiring these services across various locations in the UK, vendors with a proven track record in similar projects may find substantial avenues for growth by engaging in this procurement process. ## Notice This notice is being published to the market to inform Potential Suppliers that the Authority are undertaking a pre competition engagement workshop. ICT services are provided through two prime contracts via different suppliers, both contracts are due to expire in 2018. The in-scope Defra Group organisation are: Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), Environment Agency (EA) Rural Payments Agency, Natural England, Marine Maritime Organisation, Animal and Plant Health Agency. The programme has been commissioned to transition the in-scope ICT provision across the Authority to a new, single and more effective Defra ICT organisation with core/common services and a supporting delivery model that will replace the current service provisions. The programme is delivering a new Defra Group ICT operating model primarily through new workstreams, each looking at delivering distinct services. This one is specifically looking at the End User Environment. EUE services will be provided to Defra and associated organisations in the Defra Group. This procurement will follow the CPN process. The current contracts deliver services through two main suppliers across 371 sites in the UK. The service is to be made available to 23,000 staff across the UK.
