Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "LinkedIn license" was managed by Southern Housing, a buying organisation based in London, with the role of facilitating license management software services. The procurement falls under the 'services' industry category, specifically targeting linked technology applications. The award phase concluded with the contract being awarded on 21st December 2023, and the contract period extends from 23rd December 2023 to 22nd December 2026. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, below the threshold, focusing on engaging a supplier without an open competitive process. This project involves service delivery in London and the South East regions, amounting to a contract value of £269,490 in GBP.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing and management, particularly those with capabilities in managing and implementing LinkedIn technology solutions. Given the project's suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), companies within this scale can significantly benefit from engaging in this contract, allowing for strategic growth and exposure. The direct procurement approach chosen suggests that businesses with established connections and expertise in LinkedIn services would be ideally positioned to compete effectively, offering targeted solutions in alignment with Southern Housing's organisational needs.
