This contract serves the central government and is located in Swindon, United Kingdom (UKK14). The procurement was concluded through a direct method due to the absence of technical competition, with Research Innovations Ltd being awarded the contract valued at £15,300 (gross value: £18,360). The current status is 'complete', having its contract period scheduled from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026. The critical dates included the contract signing on 22nd April 2025 and its official publication on 20th May 2025.

This tender creates opportunities for firms specializing in software solutions, specifically those capable of delivering licence management software, to secure governmental contracts and expand their business footprint. It is particularly well-suited for companies that can provide highly specialised technical services, given the non-competitive nature of the award due to unique supplier capabilities. Large businesses with a track record of dealing with public authorities and central government contracts would find this type of procurement promising for growth, especially in providing solutions to complex governmental requirements.
