Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited has awarded a contract for Cloud Computing Platform Services to Phoenix Software Limited, marking the conclusion of this competitive procurement process under the RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2 Framework. This process was conducted using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at GBP 3,285,759.35, covers the provision of licence management software package services and spans a period from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2029. Key locations involved include Swindon, England, and Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Although the procurement is complete and in the award stage, it initially targeted small and medium-sized enterprises, reflecting UKRI's commitment to supporting business growth.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies specialising in IT services and cloud computing solutions, particularly those with expertise in software licence management. While the contract has been awarded, similar tenders within the framework may be available, creating lucrative growth possibilities for SMEs able to deliver innovative technology services. Even though the contract was awarded to a large provider, Phoenix Software Limited, future procurements under similar conditions could open doors for smaller businesses with competitive offerings in the technology sector.
