UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by National Highways, a public authority within the central government, pertains to the renewal of Tenables software under the CHARM agreement. Located in Guildford, UK, National Highways managed this below-threshold procurement without competition, and the procurement stage has been completed with an award to the supplier Softcat PLC. The legal basis for the contract was established under the UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement process has seen recent updates as of 29th May 2026, and a termination notice has also been published, indicating the completion of the contract initially signed on 1st May 2025 with an implementation end date of 17th May 2026. The overall final gross value of the contract was £33,073.19.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for IT firms specialising in software packages, given that the primary procurement category was goods. Businesses that can offer competitive software solutions and support, particularly in the IT sector, may find this type of contract particularly relevant. Although the main supplier was a large enterprise, the below-threshold procurement process, which bypasses competition, indicates potential opportunities for smaller firms able to directly engage with public authorities for similar services. The detailed planning and execution of this procurement signify a robust process, enabling capable businesses to build and sustain relevant partnerships with organisations like National Highways.
