Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required the provision of software licences and related software services under the procurement titled DDaT26333 – Software. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, covering the supply of licences rather than works or physical goods. UK Shared Business Services Limited acted as the buyer for the procurement. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement could be fulfilled by an SME-sized software licensing or technology supplier. The procurement was connected to UKRI’s operational and digital technology needs, with the specific software products and licensing scope forming the core of the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Shared Business Services Limited selected Threatscape Security Solutions Ltd on 16 July 2026. The award value is £83,151 including the stated currency of GBP, with a contract period from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The contract was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), following a longlist and shortlist exercise. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 11:00. The procurement is categorised as services. The recorded award is active, and the awarded supplier is an SME. The award was made against the requirement for software licences and associated provision.

This award demonstrates a defined UK public-sector demand for software licensing delivered through a government framework call-off. It is relevant to suppliers that provide software licences and can operate through the G-Cloud 14 framework, including SME technology businesses. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need framework eligibility, the ability to respond to a longlist and shortlist exercise, and a licensing offer suitable for a UK research and innovation organisation. The award also shows that the buyer uses a structured framework route rather than an open competition for this requirement. Suppliers should therefore understand framework call-off procedures and be able to present a clear, compliant software licensing proposition.
