Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council procured a renewal of its Xensam Software Asset Management System. This is a software and information systems requirement, classified under CPV 48000000, and falls within the goods category. The system is intended to support the council’s management of software assets, including the software platform and associated supply needed for the renewal. Delivery is for Yorkshire and the Humber, serving the council in East Riding of Yorkshire. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of software asset management systems, software licensing solutions and related information systems, particularly those able to provide and support a council-wide technology platform.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. East Riding of Yorkshire Council used a limited procedure based on a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The award was made to Softcat Plc on 31 August 2026 for £79,755 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 7 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The opportunity concerned one software asset management system renewal, with the procurement evaluated through the competitive quotation process. Softcat Plc is the selected supplier, and its award is recorded as active.

This award provides a clear view of the council’s demand for a managed software asset management system over a substantial contract period. Competitors seeking similar work from East Riding of Yorkshire Council would need a credible software asset management platform, the ability to supply software and information systems, and experience of meeting public-sector technology requirements through a competitive quotation route. The successful supplier was a large company, indicating that the requirement was positioned for a provider with sufficient organisational capacity to support the council’s needs. Smaller businesses should note that the procurement recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
