## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs procured a workforce planning and analytical tool, classified as an IT software package (CPV 48517000). The requirement is for software to support workforce planning; the procurement data does not describe further functions, implementation services or technical specifications. The listed delivery location is London, with the wider delivery area also stated to include the United Kingdom and other territories and locations. This is a services procurement centred on a workforce analytics tool rather than a general IT services requirement. Suppliers specialising in workforce planning software and related analytical platforms are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Orgvue. The award was made on 29 September 2026, with a stated value of £187,560. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2028. The buyer used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classified as a services contract and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are set out in the published procurement information, so the award basis beyond the framework call-off route is not described.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Defra’s demand for workforce planning and analytical software through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need a workforce analytics product suited to organisational planning, together with evidence that it can be supplied and supported as a software solution for a government department. The buyer’s choice of Orgvue indicates that a specialist workforce-planning platform was relevant to the requirement; this is not evidence of a broader need for unrelated IT products or services. The stated SME and VCSE suitability settings indicate that the original procurement was not regarded as suitable for those supplier types, so businesses in those categories should consider whether their scale and delivery model could meet the buyer’s needs in a future procurement.
