From £750 net
from £900 including VAT at 20%
A short written map of the bottleneck, the recommended first move, important dependencies and an indicative route to implementation. If you commission one project or paid scoping stage within 90 days of receiving the report, the net Review fee you paid is credited. One credit applies per engagement.
02 · Build
£1,950 to £2,400 net
£2,340 to £2,880 including VAT at 20%
One repeatable job, one clear result and a straightforward way to handle anything unusual. It can prepare a draft quote or invoice, file a supplier invoice or produce a scheduled report.
£6,000 to £14,000 net
£7,200 to £16,800 including VAT at 20%
A joined-up operational workflow across several steps, systems or people, with the shared visibility and control the work requires.
From £15,000 net
From £18,000 including VAT at 20%
Substantial operational software starts with a paid scoping stage at 10% to 15% of the estimated build, with a minimum business price of £2,500 net (£3,000 including VAT at 20%).
Quick Win: The quoted price depends on the scope and systems involved. Straightforward routes sit at the lower end; financial drafts and more involved connections sit at the upper end.
Connected System: The normal Connected System range is £6,000 to £14,000 net. If a narrow first phase is useful by itself, it may be scoped from £5,000 net (£6,000 including VAT at 20%). The quote states exactly what that phase achieves and what remains outside it.
Operational Web System: The scoping fee is credited in full against a build commissioned within 90 days of receiving the scoping deliverable. A prior Bottleneck Review counts towards that credit rather than adding a second one. These are guide ranges, not a forced step. If a useful first phase falls between them, we scope that phase separately and show what it achieves before you decide.

Start with a free fit call. A Quick Win gives you one repeatable job, one clear result and a straightforward way to handle anything unusual. Several connected steps are a Connected System; larger operational software is an Operational Web System; and software inherited from another supplier starts with Delta Steward. A purchase, handover or due-diligence decision points to Independent Software Review. If the route is unclear, the Bottleneck Review provides a paid written starting point.

The net Bottleneck Review fee paid can be credited in full once against one qualifying project or paid scoping stage commissioned within 90 days of receiving the report. The agreed Operational Web System scoping fee is credited in full against a matching build commissioned within 90 days of receiving the scoping deliverable. A prior Review counts towards that one credit, not a second credit.
Yes. Delta Care is a separate software-only service at £700 net (£840 including VAT at 20%) per named eligible system, per month. It is agreed after a qualifying larger system and covers the named application, not general managed IT support. Quick Wins are not eligible.
