## Summary

Scottish Natural Heritage procured services to support the ongoing enhancement of the InformedDECISION™ digital platform. The requirement covers digital platform development, improvement and support rather than the supply of a standalone product. The work is for delivery in Scotland and is connected to Scottish Natural Heritage’s environmental protection responsibilities. Scotland Excel acted for NatureScot in running the tender but is not a party to the contract or responsible for managing it over its lifetime. The procurement falls under CPV 72268000, covering software supply services. It was arranged as a call-off from the UK Government’s G-Cloud 14 framework, making it relevant to suppliers able to deliver and support public-sector digital platforms through that route.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to Informed Solutions. The contract is active, was signed on 27 July 2026, and has a value of £708,333. The requirement was a single lot and used an open procedure. It was a G-Cloud 14 framework call-off. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the available bid statistics record no SME bids and one non-EU foreign bid. The published outcome identifies Informed Solutions as the supplier for the platform enhancement and support services. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Scottish Natural Heritage is the buyer, with Scotland Excel conducting the tender on its behalf.

This opportunity shows Scottish Natural Heritage’s demand for specialist digital platform enhancement and ongoing support, delivered through a public-sector technology framework. A credible future competitor would need to develop and maintain an established digital platform, understand service continuity and improvement work, and operate effectively for a public environmental organisation. The requirement suits a supplier with substantial digital delivery capacity, the ability to provide sustained technical support, and experience working within framework call-off arrangements. The award to Informed Solutions, identified as a large supplier, indicates that the buyer accepted a provider able to undertake the requirement at organisational scale. Firms with comparable platform engineering, support and public-sector contracting capability would be best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
