Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "IBM Software Subscription and Support Renewal," was facilitated by the Ministry of Justice, located at 3rd Floor 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London, England. This contract, classified under the industry category of software-related services, covers the renewal of IBM software subscriptions and support for the period of 2025 to 2027. The contract comes with a value of approximately £2,887,529.31 and follows a selective procurement method, specifically using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tendering process was completed, with the award made to IBM on 28th October 2025, just days after the tender period concluded on 23rd October 2025. The contract will officially commence on 1st November 2025 and run until 31st October 2027, covering numerous locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and others.

This tender creates substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for large companies within the software services industry, given the significant contract value and the requirement for IBM-related support and subscription renewals. However, it is noteworthy that this procurement is not suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Businesses already engaged in providing large-scale software management and support services stand a competitive chance in pursuing similar opportunities, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their market presence in the sectors specified.
