Defra ADMS dynamic webinar

About the webinar

DEFRA is preparing a series of procurements in 2026 focused on application development, maintenance, and ongoing support services (ADMS). We are keen to engage with innovative, digitally native SMEs that can help us modernise legacy systems, build new digital services, and provide secure, reliable support across a wide range of platforms.

This webinar will give potential suppliers an early insight into:

• Defra’s problems and opportunities

• What we are looking for from agile, modern SMEs

• The upcoming commercial opportunities, and

• The procurement processes.

If you specialise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), modern engineering, cloud-native development, or continuous support models, this is a key opportunity to understand how to work with central government.

How digitally native SMEs can stand out

Why we’re looking for suppliers with modern digital DNA:

• Agile and DevOps capabilities

• Deep understanding of human centred and iterative design practices

• Innovation and creativity, particularly in some specialist areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Specialist knowledge in areas like geospatial where deep expertise really matters to Defra

Why attend?

• Gain early insight into upcoming procurement activity

• Understand government digital and technical requirements

• Learn how to position your SME for success

• Ask direct questions to our commercial and digital teams

• Connect with colleagues shaping future application services
