Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics bought Katalon True Platform Enterprise Edition licences for computer-supply purposes. Katalon is a software testing and quality-assurance platform, so the requirement is for enterprise software licences rather than hardware, consultancy or construction work. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Newport, Wales. The procurement is categorised as goods and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is Akhter Computers Limited, a large computer-supply business based in Harlow, Essex. Businesses active in software licensing, technology distribution or public-sector IT supply would find this requirement most relevant, particularly those able to provide Katalon products through an authorised or established commercial supply route.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Office for National Statistics used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 10 June 2026 at 11:00. The contract was awarded to Akhter Computers Limited on 22 June 2026 for £30,381.90 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 June 2026 to 26 June 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £30,381.90. The award is active, and the requirement covers one procurement item. The procurement was for goods, with the tender marked complete. The available procurement information identifies the framework call-off route and the awarded supplier; no separate scoring weights or evaluation formula are stated.

For suppliers that missed this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for enterprise Katalon licensing from the Office for National Statistics. A credible competitor would need a reliable route to supply Katalon True Platform Enterprise Edition, knowledge of software licensing terms, and the commercial capacity to fulfil an organisation-wide requirement across the United Kingdom. Experience supplying government or other large organisations would help demonstrate that the business can handle formal framework call-offs, licensing administration and public-sector purchasing controls. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist software resellers may be able to compete with larger technology distributors if they can evidence product access, compliance with framework requirements and dependable fulfilment. The buyer’s use of a framework call-off also makes framework access and familiarity with its operating rules commercially important.
