Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority bought a renewal of its existing Canto digital asset management software portfolio. This is a software procurement, rather than a purchase of bespoke development or a wider digital services programme. The work is for the Authority’s operations at Culham Science Centre in Oxfordshire, in the South East of England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited through a direct award. The award was made on 5 October 2026. The contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its awarded value is £231,114; the earlier estimated procurement value was £138,586. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026. The Authority marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows that the UK Atomic Energy Authority buys digital asset management software to renew its existing Canto portfolio. For suppliers competing for a future requirement from this buyer, a credible offer would need to address digital asset management software renewal and the Authority’s existing portfolio. The contract was awarded directly, so this award does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or identify technical, accreditation or capacity requirements. It does, however, provide evidence of buyer demand for this specific software category.
