Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited bought a subscription licence for an organisational design software system to meet a requirement of UK Research and Innovation. The purchase is for industry-specific software rather than consultancy, implementation works or general office technology. The service falls within software packages for specific industries (CPV 48100000) and is categorised as goods. The buying organisation is based at Polaris House in Swindon, England, and the procurement record identifies the same Swindon postcode for delivery. The requirement concerns access to an organisational design platform, suitable for organisations needing software to model, analyse or manage organisational structures and workforce information. The selected supplier, Orgvue Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in this type of software subscription.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded to Orgvue Ltd. The award was made on 3 September 2026, following a shortlisting exercise and a selective call-off from the RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2028, for 24 months. Its awarded value is £146,520 excluding VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the framework shortlisting and call-off process rather than an open tender. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. This is an award outcome, not an invitation to submit bids, and the contract is recorded as active.

For a supplier targeting UK public-sector organisational design technology, this award shows a buyer purchasing a substantial two-year software subscription through the G-Cloud framework and selecting an SME specialist. A credible competitor would need a mature organisational design platform, reliable subscription delivery and the ability to support a public-sector customer over a multi-year call-off. Relevant capability would include modelling organisational structures, analysing workforce or operating-model data, presenting scenarios clearly and maintaining secure, dependable access for users. Experience of framework shortlisting and government procurement would make a supplier better placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns. The opportunity is most relevant to software providers with an established product, public-sector contracting capability and capacity to support an organisation such as UK Research and Innovation through UK Shared Business Services.
