Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) procured software licences and support, covering software packages, information systems and related computer services. The requirement supports DSIT’s digital, data and technology needs, with delivery in London. It is categorised mainly as goods, with an additional computer-related professional services classification. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Eficode UK Ltd, is a UK software company based in Southampton. The requirement was handled through DSIT’s DDaT procurement function and concerned the supply and ongoing support of software products rather than construction, facilities management or general consultancy.

This is an awarded and completed selective framework call-off, conducted through the G-Cloud 14 Framework, Lot 2 Software, following a shortlisting exercise. The tender deadline was 3 June 2026 at 2pm, and the contract was awarded to Eficode UK Ltd on 7 July 2026. The awarded value is £42,481.50, against an estimated range of £25,681.50 to £42,481.50, all in GBP. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2027. Evaluation and selection took place within the framework call-off and shortlisting process. The procurement status is complete, and the award is active.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for software licensing and continuing support delivered through a recognised technology framework. Suppliers considering comparable work with DSIT would need credible capability in supplying software packages and information systems, together with the technical capacity to provide dependable support throughout a service contract. Experience of government technology environments and familiarity with framework call-off and shortlisting processes would be commercially relevant. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier was itself an SME, indicating that smaller specialist software businesses can compete where they can evidence an appropriate product portfolio, implementation or support capability, and the organisational capacity to manage the requirement.
