Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured a review of its SAP licences, classified as database software services (CPV 48611000). The requirement concerns assessing the council’s SAP licensing rather than supplying a general software package. Delivery is associated with Barnsley, in South Yorkshire. This is a specialist IT licensing and software asset management requirement for a local authority, with the work focused on understanding and reviewing existing SAP licences.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Invictus Partners through a direct award. The award date was 29 June 2026, and the recorded contract value is £153,000. The awarded contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2029. The tender record also gives a separate service period of 13–14 October 2026. No evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described. The procurement was classified as services, and the council marked the requirement unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council for specialist review of its SAP licensing, on a multi-year contract scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable expertise in SAP licence models, entitlement and usage analysis, and the ability to identify compliance risks and opportunities to optimise licence costs. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver a focused assessment for a local authority and present clear, defensible findings that support licensing decisions. The route used here was a direct award, and the council classified the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; suppliers should take that procurement context into account when assessing similar work.
