Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency recently completed a procurement process under the award stage for the provision of ServiceNow licences, facilitated through the G-Cloud 14 framework. This procurement, classified under the License Management Software Package industry category, took place in the United Kingdom with the contract period lasting from 12th May 2026 to 11th May 2027. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £644,869.65, was awarded to Softcat Plc on 14th May 2026, with an announcement date of 20th May 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with experience in providing enterprise software licences. Companies that can deliver efficient and scalable software management solutions will find this procurement a substantial growth prospect, especially those able to engage with government entities. Although the opportunity was not particularly aimed at SMEs or VCSEs due to the scale and nature of the requirement, large-scale software vendors with established market presence and expertise in public sector engagements would have been well-suited to compete in this process.
