Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Intellectual Property Office procured a security awareness training platform and phishing tool, identified as the MetaCompliance solution. The requirement is for modern, stable, government-proven software that improves the quality and engagement of staff training, supports compliance reporting and strengthens organisational resilience against phishing and other security threats. This is a goods procurement for software packages and information systems, with delivery for the Intellectual Property Office in Newport, United Kingdom. The scope is therefore relevant to providers of cyber security awareness platforms, phishing simulation tools, compliance training software and associated implementation or support services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 8 June 2026 to Softcat PLC for £73,179.30 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 9 June 2026 to 8 June 2029. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot procurement. The recorded procurement value and awarded value are the same. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is Softcat PLC.

This award demonstrates demand from the Intellectual Property Office for an established security awareness and phishing solution that can be used in a government environment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a stable, proven platform covering engaging staff training, phishing simulation or testing, compliance and management reporting, and measurable improvement in organisational resilience. Evidence of successful public-sector or similarly regulated deployments would help demonstrate suitability, alongside the technical capability to support users and administrators throughout a multi-year service. Smaller cyber security, learning technology and software suppliers may be relevant where they can provide the required platform directly or through an appropriate framework route.
