Summary of the contracting process

Money and Pensions Service procured technology software value-added reseller services covering the provision of software licences and software asset management. The requirement is an IT service spanning software supply, licence provision and the management of software assets, rather than a general IT support contract. It is classified under IT services including consulting, software development, internet and support. The buyer is Money and Pensions Service, based in London. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged through a technology purchasing framework, with framework suppliers engaged and informed about the competition. The requirement was presented as a single package covering both software licences and software asset management services.

This procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Boxxe Limited, an SME; the contract is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 6 December 2023 and covers an initial three-year term, with two possible one-year extensions. The recorded contract value is £13,315,376 excluding VAT, while an amendment states that the approved total value was corrected to £13,870,183 excluding VAT. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition, using the TEPAS 1 CCS Framework RM6068 and issuing the competition to framework suppliers. Evaluation was based on price at 60%, technical quality at 30% and social value at 10%. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This procurement shows substantial public-sector demand for a supplier able to combine software licensing with software asset management for a national public body. A credible competitor would need to source and supply software licences, manage licence estates and provide the associated operational service through a single delivery arrangement. Experience in technology reseller work and software asset management would be directly relevant, alongside the ability to meet technical service requirements and demonstrate measurable social value. The route to market is significant: competition was conducted among suppliers on an established CCS technology framework, so future competitors would need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent public-sector purchasing arrangement. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator.
