Summary of the contracting process

Cantium Business Solutions Limited procured CODE Clobba licensing as a software-related service. The requirement is for licensing associated with CODE Clobba, supporting the buyer’s use of this software rather than the supply of physical goods or construction work. The contracting organisation is Cantium Business Solutions Limited, based in West Malling, Kent. Delivery is defined broadly across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to software publishers, licensing specialists, resellers and technology providers able to supply or manage CODE Clobba licences across a wide geographical area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SoftwareOne UK Limited on 18 August 2026. The award value is £80,437.50 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Cantium Business Solutions used a selective procurement route through a restricted procedure, meaning suppliers were shortlisted before being invited to tender. The requirement was treated as a services contract and had an estimated tender value of £80,437.50. The published outcome identifies SoftwareOne UK Limited as the selected supplier. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for CODE Clobba licensing within Cantium Business Solutions’ technology environment. It is most relevant to established software licensing providers, authorised resellers, distributors or managed technology suppliers with access to the relevant product and the ability to handle licensing across multiple jurisdictions. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not classified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that future competitors would need sufficient commercial capacity and established supplier arrangements. Credibility would also depend on accurate licence management, reliable customer support and the ability to serve a broad geographic footprint without disrupting the buyer’s software operations.
