## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured a funding platform system, including software and supporting computer-related professional services. The requirement supports the operation and maintenance of a system used to manage funding processes for the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It is primarily a software and information-systems requirement, with associated professional services. Delivery is in London. The procurement is categorised as goods, reflecting the supply of system software, while the support element involves related technical services. The buyer is UK Shared Business Services Limited, acting for the public sector requirement. The selected solution is based on the Pega platform, indicating a requirement for an established enterprise funding-management system rather than a standalone commodity software package.

This is an awarded and completed procurement, with the contract awarded to Pegasystems Limited on 7 August 2026. The award value is £582,200 excluding VAT for the initial two-year contract, running from 8 August 2026 to 7 August 2028. The buyer may extend it by a further 12 months, with an extension value not exceeding £311,477 excluding VAT; if exercised, the maximum 2+1 year value is £893,677 excluding VAT. The contract was placed through a selective shortlisting exercise as a call-off from the RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 framework. The initial tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and evaluation was conducted through the framework shortlisting process.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates public-sector demand for a managed funding-platform system combining enterprise software with ongoing support. A credible future competitor would need a mature funding-management product, the ability to configure and maintain workflows for a government department, and the technical resources to provide dependable professional support throughout a multi-year contract. Experience of delivering software through a public-sector framework and responding to a selective shortlisting exercise would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier’s established enterprise-platform capability suggests that buyers will value proven implementation and support capacity, rather than an untested product. SMEs were identified as suitable, so a smaller specialist with the right platform expertise and delivery capacity could be well placed to compete when this requirement next reaches the market.
