Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory Limited involves a direct award for the renewal of a Clue Software Licence, classified under IT services, including consulting and software development. This contract, governed by the G-Cloud 14 framework, highlights a 3-year licence renewal with an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement method was limited, specifically a direct award without prior publication due to exclusivity and intellectual property rights, and was signed on 23 July 2025. The stakeholders include Clue Computing Company Limited as the supplier, located in Bristol, UK, and The Royal Courts of Justice, acting as the review body in London. Key delivery locations include Warrington and parts of northern England.

This tender offers significant growth potential for IT service providers capable of engaging in exclusive partnership opportunities. Due to the limited procurement method, which emphasises intellectual property and exclusive rights, businesses with unique software solutions might consider seeking similar arrangements under frameworks such as G-Cloud. With the focus on software development and IT services, enterprises specialising in these areas can explore adjacent contract opportunities for similar projects within the public sector, potentially leveraging frameworks that allow direct awards. SMEs like Clue Computing Company Limited exemplify the kind of firm poised to benefit from such strategic partnerships, aiming to secure contracts where specialised solutions are pivotal.
