Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured renewal of its ServiceNow software licences, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The licences support the agency’s core IT service management, asset management, security operations and digital workflow functions. This is a software licensing requirement rather than a software development or general IT services contract. The buyer is the UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. Delivery is associated with London and the United Kingdom. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large organisation. Businesses focused on ServiceNow licensing, renewals and related platform provision would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Softcat plc on 12 August 2026 for £5,678,372.91 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 31 March 2030. The award is active. This is a single requirement, with no separate lots reported. The procurement records the framework call-off route but does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria. The outcome shows that UKHSA selected a framework supplier for a multi-year ServiceNow licence renewal supporting several operational and digital functions.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need strong capability in supplying and renewing ServiceNow licences for a complex public-sector organisation. Relevant experience would include supporting core IT service management, asset management, security operations and digital workflow environments, with the capacity to manage licence continuity across multiple functions. Access to the relevant framework route would be commercially important, because this purchase was made as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender. The scale of the award indicates a substantial, multi-year licensing requirement, so suppliers would need reliable account management, commercial capacity and the ability to support a large organisation throughout the licence term. SMEs are identified as suitable participants.
