UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council has successfully awarded a contract for PDF document editor software licenses under the title "COV - PDF Software Licenses." The procurement, categorised under goods, was carried out using a limited, below-threshold competition, culminating in the award stage. Coventry City Council is a public authority at the sub-central government level, and this specific procurement process was completed with the award being active from 25th June 2025. The contract has been signed with Phoenix Software Ltd., commencing on 1st August 2025, and is set to conclude on 31st July 2026. The location for the project is Coventry, United Kingdom, with the industry category described as automation system according to the CPV classification (48921000).

This tender process presents various opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in software supply and distribution. Large-scale companies, such as Phoenix Software Ltd., which have experience and capabilities in providing specialised software solutions, would have a competitive advantage in processes such as this. Such contracts allow businesses to establish relationships with public sector bodies and expand their presence within the public domain, potentially leading to future contracts and collaborations. Additionally, engaging with smaller-scale, below-threshold contracts can serve as a strategic step for businesses looking to trial their services with public entities before pursuing larger-scale opportunities.
