Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) procured Alteryx Professional Full Creator licences, together with professional services for user training. This is a software licensing and implementation-support requirement, rather than a general IT services contract. The services support CQC’s use of Alteryx. The buying organisation is the Care Quality Commission, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The stated delivery area is England. The requirement was procured through the G-Cloud 14 framework’s cloud software lot, using a direct award. The contract covers the licences and associated training support. It is a defined software product requirement with related professional services, so suppliers’ relevance depends on their ability to provide Alteryx Creator licences and support customer training.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BULIEN LLP, identified as an SME. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £95,400, stated as the maximum including optional extensions. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, a total of 24 months. CQC used a direct award call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, under its cloud software lot. The procurement was classified as selective. The submission deadline was 28 July 2026. The published information does not describe separate lots or set out evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off and direct award route. The contract is for Alteryx Professional Full Creator licences and professional services to support training.

This award demonstrates demand from the Care Quality Commission for Alteryx Professional Full Creator licences backed by training support, delivered through a cloud software framework call-off. Suppliers aiming to compete for a similar requirement should be able to supply the specified Alteryx licences and provide practical professional services that help CQC staff use the software effectively. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller business; the stated SME suitability also indicates that smaller suppliers may be relevant to this type of work. Commercial credibility rests on matching the product requirement and offering capable training support, while being positioned to deliver through the relevant framework route. The procurement is specific to CQC’s Alteryx licensing and training need, rather than a broad opportunity for unrelated software or IT services.
