Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under consideration involves a direct award for the Workday Subscription, conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located at Polaris House, Swindon, England. This falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems (CPV: 48000000). The procurement method employed is selective, classified as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates for this contract include the award date of 26th July 2022, and it spans a contract period from 26th July 2022 to 27th July 2026. The completion status indicates that this contract has been successfully awarded to Workday Limited, and the most recent value update on 11th May 2026 reflects an increased contract value of £2,358,299 excluding VAT.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that align with the fit-for-purpose requirement of the tender. Companies capable of offering competitive software packages and related services may find potential to expand their portfolio within the public sector, especially given the substantial financial allocation reflected in the contract value. The procurement's framework call-off process suggests that businesses already pre-qualified under the framework agreement are at an advantage to compete, fostering growth by tapping into government contracts that offer stability and comprehensive engagement until the contract ends in 2026.
