The procurement process, currently in the tender stage, seeks suppliers to provide a solution for an initial three-year term with two possible two-year extensions (3 + 2 + 2), starting from January 2025. Key deadlines include the tender period ending on 8th November 2024. The project falls under the IT services category, specifically focusing on consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The procurement will be conducted via an open procedure below the threshold, and the Council requires submissions to comply with their Requirements Specification detailed in the tender document. Deliverables are expected across British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in low-code platforms to collaborate with Worcestershire County Council, aiding in the Council's broader digital transformation goals. Suitable businesses include those with a robust portfolio in low-code solutions, excluding those built on a Java stack, and a commitment to future platform development. The Council emphasises a functional and supportive platform, indicating potential for ongoing engagement and growth for suppliers able to meet their specifications. Both SMEs and other IT service providers with relevant expertise are encouraged to bid, positioning themselves to benefit from a substantial contract and foster a longstanding partnership with a key public sector body. ## Notice The current platform used to develop and manage the applications is coming to the end of contract in December 2026. Worcestershire County Council is issuing this Invitation to Tender (ITT) to prospective suppliers. We would like suppliers to provide pricing for the provision of the low-code platform for the next 3 years, plus two - two-year optional extensions (3 + 2 + 2) starting in December 2026. We are giving this amount of time, as we recognise it will take a significant amount of time to build all our applications. The build will be managed in house. We have developed 80+ applications to date on the current platform. The applications developed are core to transforming the organisation, changing culture, focusing service delivery on the front line, and streamlining the back office. The Council is looking for a solution which provides all the functionality and support detailed in the Requirements Specification. The low-code platform should be your main line of business you should be able to clearly show your investment and roadmap for the future development of your platform and should not be built on a Java stack.
