Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), for the Government Digital Service, procured JetBrains software licences and associated licence management services. The requirement covers renewal and ongoing management of the existing JetBrains licence estate, including the software products and the administrative service needed to manage them. This is a software-related service procurement rather than a software development or infrastructure project. Delivery is centred on the department’s London location and covers users or operations across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other international locations. The procurement is classified under software packages and information systems, with services as its main category.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3 for Software. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 5 August 2026 to Probrand Limited for £32,917.85 including the stated currency of GBP. The resulting contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £39,501.42 GBP, and the tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 23:59. The requirement was evaluated through the framework further competition route; the award record identifies Probrand Limited as the successful supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from DSIT and the Government Digital Service for managed JetBrains licensing, rather than a one-off software purchase. Suppliers positioned for a future requirement would need practical capability in procuring, renewing, allocating and administering JetBrains licences across an established licence estate and a geographically distributed public-sector user base. Experience of licence inventory, entitlement management, usage oversight and renewal coordination would support a credible proposition, alongside the ability to provide responsive account and service management. Access to the relevant Crown Commercial Service technology framework route, or an equivalent route available to the buyer, would also be commercially important. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist software licensing providers may be well placed to compete.
