Wales & West Utilities Limited · Private utility

In brief

Wales & West Utilities Limited has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £50,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for IT and software contracts across the UK (from 912 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £50,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Develop and implement IT Project Services framework to rationalise and modernise WWU's software, applications and infrastructure to enhance the customer experience and to enable WWU to: • Engage the most suitable supplier for each IT project as simply and quickly as possible. • Identify project delivery process areas which can be optimised to reduce cost and time. • Remove/minimise technical debt. • Modernise and optimise existing services (software/apps, infrastructure and hardware). • Provide training and awareness programmes for staff. • Ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
