Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by UK Shared Business Services Limited (UKSBS) titled "DDaT25345 - Collaboration and Software Development Tools" has been completed and awarded. The contract falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category, with the delivery address located in Swindon, England. The procurement was conducted through the G Cloud 14 Framework Agreement using a selective method, allowing call-offs from the framework. The contract, which commenced on 1 October 2025 and is set to conclude on 16 October 2026, has undergone several variations to include additional licences and cloud consulting services. UKSBS, situated at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, oversaw the awarding. The process transitioned from planning to award status, culminating in an award announcement on 3 October 2025.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, primarily for software development firms, particularly those specialising in collaboration tools and cloud consulting solutions. The contract, valued at £346,507.24, presents lucrative prospects for growth and expansion, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given its suitability for such entities. Large-scale businesses like Eficode UK Limited, who secured the contract, and other companies with expertise in software systems can leverage this opportunity to enhance their market presence and scale operations. With UKSBS as the buying organisation, companies with a solid track record in delivering software solutions through framework agreements are well-positioned to compete for similar future projects.
