Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics procured a renewal of its Figma software licences, with an increase in the number of licences. This is a software licensing and computer supplies requirement, for use in the United Kingdom. The scope indicated is the renewal and expansion of Figma access; no further breakdown of licence quantities or intended use is stated. The buyer is the Office for National Statistics, based in Newport, Wales. The procurement was for goods and was arranged as a call-off from a framework agreement. It therefore concerns supplying software licences under an existing purchasing arrangement, rather than a standalone software development or implementation service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to CDW Ltd. The award was made on 28 August 2026 for £34,113.98. The contract runs from 6 September 2026 to 5 September 2027. The stated response deadline was 19 August 2026. The competition used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lotting or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information. The selected supplier and award value relate to the Figma licence renewal and increase in licence numbers.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for renewing and expanding Figma software licences through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply the required Figma licensing and support the transition from an existing licence arrangement to a renewed, larger licence estate. The recorded procurement is a goods purchase rather than a requirement for software development, so relevant strengths would centre on software licensing supply and the ability to fulfil public-sector framework call-offs. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers were considered eligible to compete. Its scale is that of a defined, annual licence renewal and expansion rather than a broad technology implementation programme.
