## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) procured application development, maintenance and support for its trade application estate. This is software development and IT application support for the systems Defra uses in connection with trade applications. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded as a single service contract. The buyer is the central government department; its address is in London. The work concerns Defra’s trade application estate, rather than general-purpose software development or unrelated IT services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Capgemini UK PLC was selected through a selective procedure, with the award made under a framework and without a competitive call-off. The award date was 15 September 2026. The awarded value is £33.7 million excluding VAT (£40.44 million including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The contract covers a single lot for application development, maintenance and support services. The published data describes the requirement and route but does not set out the evaluation criteria or selection conditions.

For suppliers preparing for a future requirement from Defra, this award shows demand for sustained development, maintenance and support across a portfolio of trade applications, rather than a one-off software build. A credible competitor would need the capacity to support an established application estate while delivering development work, and the capability to provide ongoing maintenance and user-facing support as part of the same service. The selected supplier is a large IT services business, and the award was made under a framework without a competitive call-off. Suppliers should therefore consider both their ability to deliver the integrated service at substantial scale and whether they can access the relevant framework route. The requirement is specifically tied to Defra’s trade applications.
