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.

What the notice says

A multi-supplier framework in five lots to support delivery of the Academy’s Strategy 2030 across people, process and technology: strategy and operating model; technology and digital consultancy; applications, data and integration; change, adoption and capability; and independent assurance.

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.
