Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for AutoCAD licences, essential for various organisational functions. The award, classified under the software package and information systems category, was published on 4th July 2022, following a direct award method. The procurement concluded on 24th June 2022, with a total contract value of £150,000. The contract period spans from 4th July 2022 to 3rd July 2023, covering the delivery of 62 AEC, 46 Standard AutoCAD, and 5 AutoCAD light subscriptions necessary for support staff operations in Engineering and Corporate Property in Leicester, England.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software services, particularly those involved in CAD software and licensing. Companies that offer single-user subscriptions or can provide additional licenses under Autodesk's transition offer would be positioned to compete effectively. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate given their suitability for this contract type, providing them a chance to expand their market presence within a critical software domain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

AutoCAD licences

Notice Description

AutoCAD network licences are due to expire on 4th July. We have an active licence file until 3rd August. AutoDesk the software company have decided that network licenses are no longer going to be available and instead single user subscriptions will be needed for each user. LCC have 31 network licenses that can be exchanged for 62 subscriptions under a transition 2 for 1 offer from Autodesk - additional subscriptions will then need to be purchased to allow staff in E&T and Corporate Property to carry out their jobs. Surveys and reviews of usage have been carried out to determine the current need for licences and the type of licence; these being AEC, Standard AutoCAD and AutoCAD light to minimise the cost. It will also be necessary to have the ability to increase the number of licenses of all types as new staff are recruited to vacant posts. AutoCAD is the only software suitable for the job (it provides the base for many add-ons including the key system software and PSD Civils) and Autodesk is the only supplier. The software can be procured through a small number of agents - we current procure through Graitec. To cover the needs of E&T and Property we currently need 62 AEC, 46 Standard AutoCAD and 5 AutoCAD light
