Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited bought a software subscription for a UK Research and Innovation requirement. The purchase falls within software packages and information systems, and delivery is in England.

The procurement is complete and Granicus-Firmstep Limited was selected through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, following a longlist and shortlist exercise. The award was made on 23 September 2026. Its value is £36,093. The contract runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2027, with an optional 12-month extension. The submission deadline was 22 September 2026. The process was selective, using a framework call-off.

This award demonstrates UK Shared Business Services Limited’s demand for software subscriptions for UK Research and Innovation. The selected supplier was an SME, and the purchase was made through the G-Cloud 14 framework. For a supplier considering similar software subscription work for this buyer, relevant credentials include offering software packages or information systems on a subscription basis and being able to compete through that framework route. The requirement is evidence of a defined software subscription purchase, rather than a broader software development or IT services contract.
