Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought Oracle professional services, classified as software support services (CPV 72261000). The requirement is for services associated with Oracle software, with delivery in London. The named buyer is the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. This is a technology services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract, and the description identifies Oracle expertise as central to the work. The procurement is a call-off from a framework agreement, so it was arranged through an existing framework route rather than a standalone open competition. The contract was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited, a large supplier. The requirement therefore offers a clear indication of the buyer’s demand for specialist Oracle services and the supplier capability selected to deliver them.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited on 19 August 2026. The award value is £3,137,292. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The estimated procurement value was stated as £2,000,000 minimum and £3,137,292 maximum. The buyer used a selective procedure and made a call-off from a framework agreement. The published data identifies no lots, and records the procurement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated classification is software support services. The award was active at publication, with a three-year contract period. These details show the outcome and route used for this Oracle professional services requirement.

For suppliers hoping to compete for a similar requirement from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, this award demonstrates demand for Oracle professional services and software support at substantial scale. The selected provider was Oracle Corporation UK Limited, a large supplier, and the procurement used a call-off from a framework agreement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable Oracle product and support expertise, the capacity to deliver a multi-year services engagement, and an ability to serve the buyer’s London requirement. The buyer marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, indicating that the scale or delivery expectations favour suppliers able to support a larger engagement. Businesses should also be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route, rather than relying on a standalone tender. The award establishes the supplier profile and procurement route that met this buyer’s requirement.
