Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Companies House procured business continuity cloud software and supporting services to help maintain organisational resilience. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, and falls within the goods category. Delivery covers Companies House’s operations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as Guernsey and Jersey. The buyer is Companies House, based at Crown Way in Cardiff. The requirement is therefore relevant to software providers that supply hosted business continuity systems and associated support for a UK-wide public organisation, rather than to general IT hardware, consultancy or unrelated business continuity services.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 12 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract was awarded to CONTINUITY2 LIMITED on 4 August 2026 for £119,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2029. The tender itself is recorded as complete and the award is active. The procurement was for a single business continuity software and support requirement. The award information identifies CONTINUITY2 LIMITED as the selected supplier; no separate lot awards are reported.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Companies House for hosted business continuity software with ongoing support, delivered across a geographically distributed UK public organisation and the Crown Dependencies. A credible future competitor would need a mature cloud platform, dependable service management and the ability to support business continuity activities at organisational scale. Evidence of reliable implementation, operational resilience, security controls, customer support and experience supplying public sector or similarly distributed customers would strengthen a competing offer. Providers should also be able to operate effectively through a framework call-off route and show that their service can be maintained throughout a multi-year contract.
