Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involved Sheffield City Council acquiring three user licences for Oxygen Insight software, classified under the CPV category of Industry specific software package. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, this direct award process was initiated by Sheffield City Council and completed with the supplier, Oxygen Finance. The tender period concluded on 18th December 2025, with the award being made on the same date. The contract period commenced on 1st January 2026 and will end on 31st December 2027. This service procurement falls within the scope of a direct award method, making it a straightforward acquisition.

This tender offers potential growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as eligibility was keenly considered suitable for these businesses. Though a large firm, Oxygen Finance, was awarded the contract, similar tenders could be advantageous for technology firms specialising in industry-specific software and services. Enterprises looking to supply municipalities with tailored solutions should be prepared to engage in direct awards processes, which are typically less competitive but require demonstrable expertise and reliability. Business users in the software industry could look to similar opportunities to establish and expand their offering in public sector contracts by responding to specific buyer needs.
