UK Research and Innovation has recently concluded a procurement process for the project titled "DDaT25152 - Data analysis/coding licence," focusing on the industry category of licence management software packages. The procurement, a direct method under the "Below threshold - without competition" provision, was necessitated by the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract has been awarded to The Mathworks Ltd, a large supplier based in Cambridge Science Park, Milton Road, United Kingdom. The award notice was published on 24th March 2025, with the contract period starting from 1st May 2025 and ending on 30th April 2026. The contract is worth £19,050 excluding VAT and it encompasses the provision of a Matlab and toolbox licence.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies that specialise in software licensing and data analysis tools. The procurement process, specifically tailored due to a lack of competition, indicates a demand for specialised services that cannot be easily met by alternative suppliers. Businesses with a strong technical portfolio in software development, particularly those that offer unique or highly specialised IT solutions, could find similar future tenders beneficial. Such opportunities are ideal for companies capable of providing cutting-edge technological solutions, enhancing their reputation and market share in specialised government contracts.
