Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the UK Health Security Agency involved the awarding of a contract for the procurement of multi-licenses for the fiscal year 2025/26. The procurement falls under the industry category of "License management software package" and was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract has been awarded to Softcat plc, a large-scale supplier, with the award stage marked as "active" from 29th January 2026. Key dates include the contract period starting from 30th January 2026 and ending on 29th January 2027, covering delivery to the location specified as E14 4PU in London, United Kingdom.

This tender, tailored for acquiring essential software licenses, highlights significant business opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in digital compliance and license management solutions. The selective procurement method and the involvement of a large supplier like Softcat plc indicate potential for larger organisations experienced in handling substantial framework agreements. However, the opportunity may not have been entirely suited to small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, given the procurement's scale and specificity.
