GovTech software and Salesforce expertise, built on trust.

We design, build and run systems for public bodies, universities and publicly funded programmes, and for the suppliers who serve them. A senior team based in Cardiff, working across the UK.

Who we work with

  • Local & central government
  • Universities
  • Publicly funded programmes
  • Charities & grant-makers
  • Suppliers to the public sector

What we do

From a single CRM clean-up to a multi-year programme, the work runs the same way: a small senior team, plain-English plans, and systems your people can run after we’ve gone.

CRM delivery: Salesforce & Odoo

Implementation and optimisation across Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, Experience Cloud and Grants Management, and Odoo where it’s the better fit.

  • New implementations and rescue projects
  • Multi-org consolidation
  • Data migration and reconciliation
  • Grant, case and stakeholder management
  • Portals for applicants, partners and the public
  • Integrations, training and support

Procurement software

Our own products and bespoke builds for public procurement, shaped by years on both sides of the tender table.

Programme & technical delivery

Technical programme management for complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives, from scoping and procurement through to go-live.

  • Discovery, scoping and business cases
  • Supplier and platform selection
  • Governance that boards understand
  • Go-live, adoption and support

Software for the way public buying really happens

Procurement starts long before a tender is published, and the best contracts are shaped by early, honest conversations. Our products help with both.

QuorumInsightSee the tender before it’s a tender.

Councils discuss upcoming spend in public meetings months before it reaches a portal. QuorumInsight reads agendas, reports and minutes and turns them into clear procurement signals, so suppliers can prepare properly and buyers get a better-informed market.

  • Monitors council committee papers and minutes
  • Flags spend intent, contract renewals and strategy shifts
  • Filter by authority, service area and keyword

Illustrative example

SoundingsMarket engagement that scales and listens.

Pre-market engagement is where good contracts are made, but running dozens of supplier conversations is slow. Soundings runs AI-moderated engagement on the buyer’s behalf: consistent questions, sensible follow-ups, and a structured summary of what the market is telling you.

  • Every supplier gets the same fair opportunity
  • Adaptive follow-up questions, transparently moderated
  • Themes and risks summarised for the project team

Illustrative example

Other procurement technology we’ve built

Beyond our own products, we’ve designed and built software across the procurement lifecycle, from spotting an opportunity to writing the bid.

AI tender writing software

Helps bid teams draft strong responses faster, grounded in the buyer’s specification and the supplier’s own evidence, with people in control of the final answer.

Tender notice alerts

Integrations with the UK government’s Find a Tender and Contracts Finder APIs that turn thousands of published notices into timely alerts matched to what each supplier delivers.

Public sector supplier analytics

Contract award data analysed to show who buys what, from whom and when. Suppliers find their market; buyers understand the supply base before they go to tender.

RFP response libraries

Searchable, governed libraries of approved answers, case studies and policies, so the best content is reused and kept up to date for the next questionnaire.

Why public sector teams choose Astario

No hand-offs from a sales team to juniors. The people you meet at the start are the people who design, build and support your system.

Public sector literate

A background in UK procurement and bid-writing means we understand frameworks, governance and assurance, and plan projects that survive them.

Right tool, not our tool

As Salesforce and Odoo partners we know both platforms well, and we’ll recommend whichever fits your needs and budget.

How an engagement runs

  1. Conversation

    A no-obligation call to understand the problem. We reply to every enquiry within one working day.

  2. Discovery or fixed scope

    A short, scoped discovery, or if the need is clear, a fixed piece of work at a fixed price.

  3. Build and migrate

    Iterative delivery with your team in the room, regular demos, and data you can trust.

  4. Go-live and support

    Training, handover documentation and ongoing support from the people who built it.

A small, senior team from Cardiff, working across the UK

Astario is a consultancy and software company focused on one thing: helping public services and the organisations around them run on better systems.

We’ve spent years on both sides of public procurement: writing bids, evaluating them and delivering the systems that follow. That experience shapes everything we do, from how we scope a CRM project to why we built QuorumInsight and Soundings.
