Soft Market Testing: Replacement PPM Tool

Cambridgeshire County Council · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 06:57.

Opportunity overview

The Council has been using Project Online Web App (PWA) as the primary Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) platform for several years, alongside: integration with Microsoft Project, Power BI reporting packs, workflow tools (e.g., stage-gate progression and approvals), SharePoint project sites, and in-house finance systems. The Council seeks to understand market capabilities for either: (a) a like-for-like replacement of key Project Online/PWA functionality including integration with Microsoft Project (if possible), retention of Power BI reporting packs, retention of workflow tools such as stage gates, and integration with in-house finance systems; and/or (b) a modern, comprehensive PPM platform that additionally provides resource management, roadmapping, portfolio prioritisation, and benefits realisation. The desired outcome is to maintain or enhance governance workflows; maintain or enhance reporting; achieve robust integration to in-house finance systems; provide modern portfolio management; improve resource management; offer roadmapping; ensure usability; support security and compliance; and minimise total cost of ownership. Further information can be found in the CCC PPM Market Engagement Instruction document.
