Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Workday Subscription" was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, located at Polaris House, Swindon, with a postal code of SN2 1FL. The contract, tagged under the industry category of software package and information systems with CPV code 48000000, was awarded to Workday Limited via a direct award through a Back Office Software Framework Agreement (CCS). The agreement commenced on 26th July 2022, with a completion date set for 27th July 2026. As of the latest update on 19th December 2025, the contract value has increased to £2,351,804, excluding VAT, reflecting a variation in the award notice. This procurement is classified under selective procurement methods, indicating it involved a call-off from a framework agreement and was specifically suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those with the capability to extend their services within existing framework agreements. Given the established nature of the procurement and the size of the award, large organisations like Workday Limited are seen as well-suited suppliers. Nonetheless, the focus on SMEs suggests that companies of varying scales that can offer competitive software solutions under framework agreements should consider similar opportunities for growth within this sector. The contractual framework allows participating businesses to provide innovative software subscription solutions to government bodies, thereby fostering both business resilience and expansion.
