## Summary

Connected Places Catapult is seeking a specialist software development partner to deliver the Innovation Passport minimum viable product and integrate data from Connected Testbeds. The work covers user experience and interface design, system architecture, front-end and back-end development, cybersecurity, testing, deployment, hosting and ongoing support for a production-ready digital platform. This is software development services work (CPV 72262000). Delivery is for Connected Places Catapult in the United Kingdom.

Connected Places Catapult invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement is for a single lot. The buyer set 16 October 2026 at 5pm as both the deadline for questions and the deadline for bids. The contract period is 28 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the platform required to be production-ready by 31 March 2027. The stated tender value is £120,000 gross; the lot value is recorded as AED 120,000, so the published figures use different currencies. Evaluation is to follow the tender document.

This opportunity suits a specialist software development supplier able to take a digital product from design through implementation and operational support. Bidders need capability spanning UX/UI, front-end and back-end engineering, system architecture, cybersecurity, software testing, deployment and hosting, alongside the ability to integrate data from Connected Testbeds. The required outcome is a production-ready platform, so suppliers should be positioned to coordinate these disciplines and support delivery across the full development lifecycle. Experience building and supporting integrated digital platforms would align with the scope. The work combines product design, software engineering and data integration, making it relevant to firms with a multidisciplinary delivery team rather than providers focused only on a single development task.
