Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education bought Posit Connect software licences, support and maintenance. This is a software and information-systems service, covering the provision and ongoing support of Posit Connect. Delivery locations span the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is relevant to software suppliers able to provide Posit Connect licences and associated support and maintenance.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Jumping Rivers Ltd. The Department for Education used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 23 September 2026. The contract runs from 7 October 2026 to 6 October 2028. The awarded value is £583,253.19. The tender deadline was 23 September 2026 at 10:00. The procurement data records the overall estimated value as £583,253.19. No evaluation basis is stated.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for Posit Connect licences together with support and maintenance, delivered across a broad range of locations. Suppliers positioning for a future requirement of this kind would need to be able to supply the specified software and sustain its support and maintenance over a multi-year contract. The selection was made through a framework call-off, so relevant framework participation is commercially important for competing by the same route. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
