Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Purchase of UKCEH 900 Licenses" was carried out by the Environment Agency, based in London, United Kingdom. This contract, awarded to the UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, falls under the industry category of IT software packages and was sourced through a direct, below-threshold procurement method. The contract was active from 1st April 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2026, with the award being finalised on 28th March 2025. The contract, valued at £79,691.0, primarily involves the acquisition of supplier-owned licenses for critical datasets necessary for operational delivery.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT software packages, particularly those capable of supplying or managing software licenses. Although this procurement was processed as a direct award, understanding the strategic needs of the Environment Agency can position businesses favourably for similar opportunities in the future. Companies that possess the expertise to deliver proprietary or niche software solutions would be well-suited to pursue such engagements, particularly in public authority sectors focusing on ecological and environmental initiatives.
