Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required the supply of migration tool software, classified as an industry-specific software package. The purchase is for goods rather than a standalone consultancy or works service, and supports software migration activity. UK Shared Business Services Limited acted as the buying organisation for the requirement, with UKRI identified as the organisation needing the software. Delivery is associated with Swindon, England. The requirement was handled as a call-off under the Software License Reseller & Consultancy Services Agreement, linking the purchase to a wider public-sector software licensing and consultancy arrangement rather than a new standalone procurement.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective desktop exercise procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to CDW Limited on 17 July 2026 for £15,600 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at 11:00. CDW Limited is the sole recorded supplier and the award is active. The published evaluation basis is the desktop exercise procedure under the Software License Reseller & Consultancy Services Agreement; the available procurement information does not set out separate price, quality or technical scoring criteria.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for migration tool software bought through a software licence reseller and consultancy framework. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable migration tools, the ability to supply and license industry-specific software, and experience operating within framework call-off processes. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with established commercial capacity for software supply and associated account management. Businesses tracking this buyer should position themselves around migration software licensing, reseller capability, public-sector framework participation and reliable fulfilment for comparable requirements.
