The procurement falls under the industry category of services, specifically focusing on machinery for mining, quarrying, and construction equipment (CPV: 43000000). This tender has progressed to the award stage, with a direct award procurement method, indicating a single predetermined supplier was chosen without a competitive process. The relevant stages of this procurement included a tender period that concluded on 1st July 2025, and the award was made active on 5th July 2025. The contract, valued at £30,356.64, commenced on 14th July 2025 and will continue until 13th July 2026. The procurement is not specifically targeting SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for large businesses specialising in software supply, particularly those experienced in providing software solutions on a global scale. The award to Phoenix Software Ltd highlights the benefits for established companies with the capability to support clients such as local government authorities with their software needs. As public entities increasingly require comprehensive software solutions, businesses with expertise in delivering software licences and related services may find lucrative growth opportunities within similar procurement processes. Given the direct award method utilised, connections and strong relationships with potential buying organisations could be advantageous for businesses looking to position themselves as ideal suppliers for future tenders of this nature.
