Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission wants to buy two cloud-based software tools: one to estimate what procurement will cost, and one to forecast how much of each item and service the business will need. The software is delivered as a subscription service (SaaS), meaning it runs online rather than being installed on the buyer's own computers.

What the buyer wants

• Two SaaS software products, one for procurement cost estimation and one for demand planning, supplied and hosted online • Implementation, configuration and onboarding so the tools work with the buyer's existing systems and data • Ongoing support, maintenance, security management and data hosting for the subscription period

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The contract value of £3.76 million, combined with the need for proven enterprise-grade SaaS delivery, security certification and large-scale references, would put it beyond most small businesses.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
