UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was undertaken by UK Research & Innovation, located at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, to renew 250 Autodesk license subscriptions along with support packages tailored for multiple sites, including the Rutherford Appleton and Daresbury Laboratories. This procurement falls under the goods category and spans various regions within the United Kingdom, such as Edinburgh and Oxfordshire. The process utilised a direct award method, deemed necessary due to the unique requirement for extending existing licences, which no other supplier could fulfil. The contract, valued at £300,000, started on 19th June 2025 and ended on 19th June 2026. This procurement stage has been marked complete as of May 2025, with all milestones achieved.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in software supply and support services, particularly those specialised in tailored licensing solutions. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with a strong focus on technical software support and expertise in Autodesk products could find substantial growth opportunities here. The direct award approach underscores the importance of establishing robust, value-driven relationships with government bodies to secure such sought-after contracts. Businesses that thrive on providing exclusive or bespoke licensing services and technical support are ideally positioned to leverage such opportunities for sustained growth.
