Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required collaboration software licences, classed as software packages and information systems. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the named buyer. The delivery location is Swindon, England. The requirement is for licences rather than software development or general IT services, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide collaboration software licensing to a research and innovation organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TribusIT Limited on 14 November 2025. It was run as a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. The award value is £191,215.20 excluding VAT; the stated original minimum value was £88,186. The contract period is 20 November 2025 to 19 November 2027. The buyer’s description records a variation increasing the contract value by £103,029.20 excluding VAT. The tender submission deadline was 13 November 2025. No lots or evaluation criteria are described in the procurement information.

This award shows that UK Research and Innovation buys collaboration software licences through a G-Cloud framework call-off, with a two-year requirement at a substantial licensing scale. TribusIT Limited, an SME, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller supplier can fulfil this type of requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete when this buyer’s licensing needs return to market should be able to supply suitable collaboration software licences and meet the requirements of the relevant framework call-off route. Commercial credibility will depend on being able to support the scale of licensing required and deliver for a research and innovation organisation in Swindon.
