The Royal Academy of Engineering · Education
In brief
The Royal Academy of Engineering 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 £300,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 2 January 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
Can I win this?
Competition
Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for IT and software contracts across the UK (from 1331 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 £300,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
