What is this, in plain English?

A monthly subscription, delivered remotely, covering one custom business system in production. Each month you get bug fixes, 8 hours of development for small changes, user support for your team, security and dependency updates, error monitoring, and a prioritisation call. It renews monthly until you cancel.

Software in daily use generates a steady stream of small needs: an edge case nobody anticipated, a report that needs an extra column, a new starter needing an account. This plan covers that ongoing reality with a same working day response target during working hours, a monthly development allowance, and a prioritisation conversation so the allowance goes on what matters most to you that month. It is a recurring plan, not a project.

The problem it solves

Your system works, but every small fix is a new quotation and a wait, so people go back to spreadsheets.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

Delivery method
Managed Subscription
Expected delivery time
Active within 5 working days of onboarding, then ongoing each month until cancelled
Measured from the point everything under “what we need from you” is with us — not from the moment you pay.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • A system we have built, or one that passes an onboarding assessment before the plan starts
  • Access to the code repository, environments and deployment process
  • A named contact who can set priorities each month
  • A written list of known issues at onboarding

Who this is for

  • Businesses running a custom system in production
  • Companies without in-house developers
  • Teams needing regular small enhancements
  • Organisations where system downtime stops work

Business needs this addresses: Improve operations, Improve IT infrastructure

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Major new modules or features, which are quoted as separate projects
  • Hosting and third-party service fees, which you pay to the providers directly
  • Unused hours, which do not carry forward to the next month
  • Support for systems built by others without an onboarding assessment first
  • Out-of-hours, weekend or overnight cover — see the Priority Support Plan for extended hours
  • Any uptime guarantee, which depends on infrastructure we may not control

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

Response times are targets for beginning work, not resolution guarantees — no honest supplier can promise a fix time for an unknown fault.

FAQs

Do you support systems you did not build?

Sometimes. It depends on an onboarding assessment of the code and documentation. If we cannot support it responsibly we will say so rather than take the fee.

What counts as a bug rather than a change?

A bug is the system not doing what it was specified to do. A change is new behaviour. Grey areas get discussed openly, and we do not use the distinction to avoid work.

Can I cancel, and what do I keep?

Yes — a rolling monthly plan, cancellable in writing on 30 days’ notice, with no minimum term. You keep the system and its code; on cancellation we hand over credentials, environment configuration and documentation so you or another provider can carry on. Our Refund & Cancellation Policy covers how a part-used period is treated.

Refund & cancellation

How this plan is cancelled, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Cancelling this plan
It continues, period after period, until you cancel in writing. A monthly plan needs 30 days' notice. The service runs to the end of the period you have already paid for.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy — see subscriptions. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

Not sure this is the right product?

We would rather point you at the right thing than sell you the nearest one. Ask us before you buy — no obligation.
