Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire Constabulary procured the renewal of ShareGate, a software package used for digital workspace and information-system requirements. The purchase is a goods contract covering ShareGate licensing supplied through Softcat under the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace 2 framework. Delivery is for Lancashire Constabulary in the North West of England. ShareGate is the named product, while the broader category is software and information systems (CPV 48000000). The requirement is for continuation of an existing software arrangement rather than new software development, construction or consultancy. Businesses relevant to this type of opportunity are software publishers, authorised resellers and suppliers able to provide ShareGate through the specified framework route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Softcat Plc on 1 June 2026. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace 2, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12 noon. The awarded value was £18,343.78 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Lancashire Constabulary was the buyer. The opportunity was assessed through the framework call-off process, and the published outcome records Softcat as the active supplier. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for ShareGate licensing through an established digital workspace framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the legal and commercial ability to supply the named software product, maintain an authorised relationship with the publisher or distributor, and operate within the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workspace 2 framework or an equivalent route used by the buyer. Relevant strengths would include reliable licence renewal management, clear product knowledge, administration of subscription or entitlement changes, and experience supporting public bodies with software procurement. Larger technology resellers with framework access and the capacity to manage a multi-year licence arrangement are particularly well placed.
