Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured load-balancing software licences as goods for use in its business operations. The requirement covers the supply of software licences rather than software development, implementation works or general information-technology services. The procurement is associated with software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery is linked to the buyer’s operations in Swindon, England. UK Shared Business Services Limited, based at Polaris House in Swindon, was the buying organisation. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier was Bytes Software Services Limited, a software services company based in Leatherhead, Surrey.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Shared Business Services Limited selected Bytes Software Services Limited on 24 July 2026. The award value is £73,424.79 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. It was a selective call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, using a longlist and shortlist exercise rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 11:00. The requirement was treated as a single purchase of goods, with the framework call-off route determining the supplier selection. The award is recorded as active, and the contract period matches the awarded period.

This award indicates a defined requirement for load-balancing software licences within UK Shared Business Services Limited and shows that the buyer uses the G Cloud framework’s call-off route for this type of purchase. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need access to the relevant framework route or a suitable successor arrangement, together with the ability to supply and support load-balancing software licences at an organisational scale. Credibility would come from established software licensing relationships, accurate licence provisioning, contract and renewal management, and the technical understanding needed to match load-balancing products to the buyer’s information-systems environment. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller supplier could be competitive where it can demonstrate dependable delivery and framework compliance.
