Summary of the contracting process

The Government Commercial Agency procured cloud-hosted software for Jira and Confluence, classified as software packages and information systems. The requirement is a service supporting the agency’s use of these collaboration, workflow and knowledge-management platforms. Delivery is in London, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Government Commercial Agency, based in Liverpool. The procurement is focused on providing hosted access to Jira and Confluence rather than general software or information-systems provision. Relevant suppliers are therefore those able to provide and support these specific cloud services for a government customer, including managing the hosted software service and meeting the operational requirements set out in the procurement documents.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to AUTOMATION CONSULTANTS LIMITED on 24 April 2026 for £232,204.08 (GBP). The contract period runs from 24 April 2026 to 23 April 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 April 2026 at 12:00. The tender had a total estimated value of £232,204.08 (GBP) and was categorised as a services procurement. The process is complete and the award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award. The procurement used a framework call-off route, so future suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete through its call-off procedures.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined government requirement for cloud-hosted Jira and Confluence services at a substantial single-customer scale. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to provide these named platforms as hosted services, support their continued operation and serve the Government Commercial Agency in London. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers should therefore be prepared to operate at comparable organisational capacity and to compete through a selective framework call-off rather than an unrestricted tender. Experience delivering reliable enterprise software services to public-sector customers would strengthen credibility when this requirement returns to market.
