Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency bought a 12-month GraphPad subscription, classified as a licence management software package. The requirement is for software access rather than related implementation services or physical goods. The buyer is based at 10 South Colonnade in London; the listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom as well as Europe and other international locations. This is a focused software subscription requirement, so suppliers whose business is supplying GraphPad licences or managing software subscriptions are the closest fit. The purchase gives a clear example of the Agency’s demand for subscription software, rather than a broader software development or consultancy project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat plc. The award date was 21 October 2026, and the contract runs from 21 October 2026 to 20 October 2027. The awarded value is £95,669.79. The Agency used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 20 October 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was not divided into lots. The stated supplier suitability indicates that the opportunity was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome records an active award to one supplier; no separate evaluation criteria are set out in the process information.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a sizeable, defined requirement for a year-long GraphPad subscription at the UK Health Security Agency, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply GraphPad access and handle the commercial and administrative demands of a public-sector software subscription. The selected supplier, Softcat plc, is recorded as a large business, and the stated suitability excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This points to a buyer seeking a supplier able to transact through the relevant framework route and support a subscription covering UK and international use. The award provides a buyer-specific reference point for the software and supplier scale involved; it does not establish technical qualifications beyond the subscription requirement.
