    Brief

    The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) seeks vendor support services for critical business applications hosted across two datacentres: one supporting Development, Test, and Disaster Recovery environments, and another for Production. The Rural Payments Service (RPS) encompasses mission-critical systems including Siti Agri (Rural Payments Portal), Customer Portal, Land Management System (LMS), and Data Warehouse (DWH). These systems process payments to landowners and require continuous operational support. While some components may be replaced over time, the Payments Portal and Customer Portal are expected to remain operational for several years. This contract is essential to maintain service continuity for Defra Group's ability to process landowner payments. The vendor will support infrastructure across both datacentres while Defra investigates longer-term cloud migration and cloud-native solutions. The initial contract period is 3 years with two optional 1-year extensions to ensure uninterrupted service delivery of this critical government function.
