Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured licences for a user research data analysis tool, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The requirement is for services supporting the analysis of data from user research. Delivery covered the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is the Department for Education, based in London. This is therefore relevant to software publishers, licensing specialists, technology resellers and service providers able to supply and support a user research data analysis platform across a broad geographic footprint.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 16:00. The estimated procurement value was £213,048.40, while the award value was £232,714.40. The contract was awarded to Bytes Software Services Ltd on 13 August 2026, with the contract running from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2028. The award is active. The published information identifies the procurement as a services requirement and records suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The supplied information does not state an evaluation weighting or specific award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for a specialist user research data analysis tool delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need access to a suitable platform, the legal and commercial ability to provide software licences, and the operational capacity to support users across the United Kingdom and overseas locations. Suppliers should be able to explain how their tool supports user research data analysis in an education department environment, including implementation, account or licence administration and ongoing service support where required. The opportunity is potentially relevant to software vendors, authorised resellers and technology service businesses, including smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises able to meet framework requirements.
