Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Companies House procured an Oracle Java subscription as a software service. The requirement supports the organisation’s use of Oracle Java rather than the development of a new software product. Companies House is based at Crown Way, Cardiff. Delivery covers the United Kingdom broadly, including England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, together with Guernsey and Jersey. The listed delivery locations include the East Midlands, East of England, London, North East, North West, South East, South West, West Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber. This is therefore relevant to businesses supplying Oracle Java subscriptions or associated software licensing and support services that can serve a public body operating across the UK and the Channel Islands.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Companies House used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 19 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was made on 25 February 2026. Phoenix Software was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £291,175 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract runs from 24 February 2026 to 23 March 2027. The procurement is classified as a services requirement, with the stated subject being an Oracle Java subscription. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Companies House’s Oracle Java subscription requirement. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant Oracle Java subscription commercially and operate effectively through a framework call-off route, as that was the purchasing method used here. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale can regard the buyer and route as relevant, subject to meeting the framework’s own conditions. The awarded supplier is a large organisation, indicating that Companies House accepted a provider with the capacity to support an organisation serving users across the UK and the Channel Islands. Relevant licensing, account management and software support capability would help establish credibility when this requirement next reaches the market.
