In plain English

Kent County Council's Procurement Services is preparing a large national and local framework for ICT Managed and Professional Services, covering support, consultancy, cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure and software work, running from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2031. This is preliminary market engagement to shape the framework's design, so it is not yet open for bids and a place on it would only be an entry ticket to future call-off work, not guaranteed contracts.

Good fit for: Medium to large ICT services, consultancy and managed services providers used to public-sector framework bidding.

The catch:
  • Scope and lot structure still to be determined
  • Extremely high estimated value (£500,000,000) suggests a framework aimed at larger suppliers
  • No deadline or procedure stated yet - this is pre-tender engagement
