UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Salford City Council, based in Manchester, United Kingdom, under the title "AUTODESK Subscription Renewal." This public procurement falls under the public authority sub-central government category and involves the renewal of Autodesk subscription licences. The procurement method was "limited," aimed at below-threshold participation, indicating a constrained competitive approach. The tender culminated in August 2025, moving from the planning and tender stages to award, with the contract period commencing on 22nd August 2025 and concluding on 21st August 2026. Key areas of delivery are within the UKD3 region, and the main procurement category is goods, specifically software packages and information systems.

This tender presents significant business opportunities for companies involved in software provision and services, particularly those specialising in information systems. ARKANCE UK LIMITED, a large-scale supplier based in London, was awarded the contract, highlighting potential competition for established firms capable of competing in specialised software renewal projects. Businesses with robust expertise in software solutions and licensing could find growth opportunities in similar procurement activities issued by local government authorities like Salford City Council. Engaging in these limited competitive tenders may offer substantial opportunities for scaling operations within public sector engagements.
