Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Companies House procured enterprise architecture modelling tools as a goods requirement. The purchase is for software supporting the modelling of an organisation’s enterprise architecture, with the classification associated with licence-management software packages (CPV 48218000). Delivery covers Companies House in Cardiff and locations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as Guernsey and Jersey. The requirement is relevant to software publishers, resellers, licensing specialists and technology suppliers able to provide enterprise architecture modelling products for use across a geographically distributed public-sector organisation. The named buyer is Companies House, whose registered address for this procurement is Crown Way, Cardiff.

The procurement has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Phoenix Software was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026 for GBP 429,321. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029. The original estimated value range was GBP 286,189 to GBP 429,321. The tender closed on 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The process is complete and the award is active. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement, with suitability identified for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award covers one supplier and one requirement.

This award shows continuing public-sector demand for enterprise architecture modelling tools and associated licence-management software within Companies House. A credible future competitor would need a proven enterprise architecture modelling product, dependable licensing and subscription administration, and the capacity to support use across organisations and locations throughout the UK and the Crown Dependencies. Suppliers should be comfortable supplying through a framework call-off route rather than only through a standalone competition. The recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers and mission-led technology organisations may be able to compete where they can demonstrate a suitable product, reliable implementation or support arrangements, and the operational capacity to serve a public-sector buyer.
