In plain English
Kent Fire and Rescue Service wants to understand what Project Portfolio Management (PPM) software solutions are available to help them plan and track their projects and programmes. This is a market research exercise (not a formal tender) to explore options before they decide how to buy.
What the buyer wants
• Identify software solutions (SaaS or Microsoft Power Platform-based) that are already available through a Government Commercial Agency (GCA) framework and fit within a £50,000–£100,000 budget • Provide a brief, high-level overview of how your solution meets their needs, no detailed line-by-line response required • Give clear information on licensing/subscription costs, implementation costs, support costs, and any ongoing fees • Explain how they retain control of their data and can move to another system if needed • State the exact GCA framework name, Lot number, and product listing your solution sits under
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a preliminary market engagement exercise, not a formal tender. You cannot win a contract from this notice. Only suppliers offering software already listed on a GCA framework can participate; custom-built solutions or products not on an approved framework will be rejected. Most small construction/trade businesses will be completely outside scope as this is purely for software/SaaS providers.
