## Summary

The East West Railway Company Limited, a central government public authority based in Milton Keynes, is the buying organisation for a procurement process titled "Provision of Bentley ProjectWise and ALIM Licences." This procurement falls under the IT services category, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contracting process was conducted through a direct award method, with Bentley Systems UK Ltd as the supplier. The contract, valued at approximately £833,139.73, was awarded on 19th June 2026, with a contract period from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027. This procurement activity has been completed, and it supports the operational maintenance and vendor support for Bentley's product suite, ensuring continuity and technical alignment with existing systems.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services and software maintenance to engage with public sector projects, particularly for those with expertise in platforms like ProjectWise and ALIM. The procurement process highlights the potential for organisations to secure substantial contracts by meeting the specific technical and operational needs of large public authorities. While this instance was a direct award, the continuously evolving infrastructure landscape suggests that businesses positioned to offer compatible and innovative IT solutions may find similar opportunities in future competitive tenders, including possibilities for extended contracts or involvement in long-term infrastructure projects.

### Procurement Information

The Contracting Authority intends to award a contract directly for the continued provision of ProjectWise and ALIM licences. ProjectWise and ALIM are established systems that support the management, storage, governance and exchange of project and asset information across the programme. These platforms are integrated with existing information management processes, data structures, workflows and stakeholder systems, including those used by key delivery partners. The Contracting Authority considers that the conditions in Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 of the Procurement Act 2023 are met. A change of supplier would result in services that are different from, and potentially incompatible with, the existing technical and operational environment. Transition to an alternative supplier would give rise to disproportionate technical difficulties relating to the management and migration of project and asset data, maintenance of system integrations, preservation of data integrity, continuity of information management processes, and ongoing operation and maintenance of the platforms. The continued provision of these licences by the incumbent supplier is therefore necessary to maintain interoperability, ensure continuity of service, avoid disproportionate technical and operational disruption, and support the effective delivery of the programme. The term proposed will be for a duration of 12 months, this award will allow EWR time to explore, a longer-term solution such as a further direct award for a longer term once requirements are fully understood, a further extension to this contract, or a competitive process.
