Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has concluded a procurement process for ITSM Software Licences under the industry category of Internet and intranet software package (CPV code 48220000). Located in London, the SFO utilised a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below threshold, to award the contract. The tender process was completed with the contract period set to start on 31st December 2024 and end on 30th December 2026. The awarded supplier is SoftWorx Limited, with the contract valued at £130,277. Key participants of this procurement include Calum Scanlon from the Serious Fraud Office, serving as the contact point.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for SMEs, especially those offering expertise in internet and intranet software solutions. As the procurement was conducted through a direct method, this could be particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like SoftWorx Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Businesses specialising in software licences, particularly within the IT service management space, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, enabling them to establish a foothold within the public sector and expand their client base.
