Summary of the contracting process

The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman bought a Turbo360 software licence as a software and information-systems service. Turbo360 is the named product, and the procurement description states that there is no extension option. The buying organisation is based at City Gate, 51 Mosley Street, Manchester. Delivery is required in England, United Kingdom. The opportunity is therefore relevant to software publishers, licensing specialists, IT resellers and suppliers able to provide Turbo360 licences to a public-sector customer. It is a service procurement rather than a construction or physical-goods requirement, with the requirement focused on supplying the specified software licence rather than a broader technology implementation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 1 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd on 13 July 2026. The awarded value is £38,599.04. The contract period runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027. The tender was assessed as a services requirement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. There is no extension option. The award is active, so the selected supplier and the contracted value are established.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for Turbo360 licensing within the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, delivered in England and purchased through an open procedure. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement is next considered will be able to source or issue genuine Turbo360 licences, explain licensing terms clearly, manage fulfilment for a public body and provide reliable account and order administration. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so specialist software licensing businesses and smaller IT resellers can be credible competitors alongside larger suppliers. Experience supplying software packages and information systems to public-sector organisations would help demonstrate understanding of compliance, purchasing controls and customer support expectations.
