Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured licensing and support for ELVIS-VR, a software-related service requirement. The work covers commercial off-the-shelf software licensing and associated support, obtained through the authority’s existing framework for IT hardware, networking, security equipment and commercial off-the-shelf software. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a service contract rather than a hardware supply or construction project, and is relevant to software resellers, licensing specialists and providers of technical support for business or public-sector software environments. The purchasing organisation is West Yorkshire Combined Authority, based in Leeds, and the requirement sits within its wider information technology and security equipment purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited on 3 August 2026. The award value is £202,125. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2031, covering an initial 48-month period with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The estimated procurement range was £161,700 to £202,125. It used a selective procedure as a further competition and call-off from the 2821-2022 Framework for IT hardware, networking, security equipment and commercial off-the-shelf software. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 2pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and Phoenix Software Limited is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from West Yorkshire Combined Authority for ELVIS-VR licensing and support delivered through a public-sector technology framework. Businesses seeking comparable future work would need to provide commercial software licensing alongside dependable technical support for the full service period, and be able to operate through a framework call-off or further-competition route. Relevant suppliers include software resellers, vendor-authorised licensing partners and IT support providers with the capacity to manage licensing administration, renewals, user or system assistance and ongoing customer service. The successful supplier’s profile also indicates that a larger technology business can compete, while the procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to capable smaller specialists.
