Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has concluded a procurement process for a license management software package within the goods category, finalising with an award to Boxxe Ltd. This selective procurement was executed via a call-off from the CCS Framework agreement, and the award was published on 4th March 2026. The contract is intended to span from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. The procurement targeted delivery to Portsmouth in the South East of England, with a total contract value of £694,165.68. This contracting phase is marked 'complete', signifying the transition from tender to award stage.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in software delivery and management, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive license management solutions. Large enterprises with experience in navigating framework agreements will find this procurement method advantageous. Although SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this specific process, organisations with the requisite scale can expand their footprint in government contracting and potentially leverage the established framework for future opportunities.
