Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is governed by the UKPGA legal basis and is led by HM Revenue & Customs, a central government public authority located at 100 Parliament Street, London. This process involves the renewal of the SAS Viya 4 Software Licence, a critical component in the IT services industry which includes consulting, software development, internet, and support services. The procurement was conducted via a direct award method due to SAS Software Limited's exclusive rights to publish and maintain the software. The contract covers the period from 24th December 2025 to 14th December 2028, with a gross value of GBP 62,112,107, and was signed on 24th December 2025. The latest stage of the procurement has transitioned to the 'award' phase, ensuring that SAS Software Limited will supply the required services throughout the contractual period as specified.

This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those that can engage in consulting and support for software development. However, due to the specific procurement method utilised—direct award—opportunities are limited to SAS Software Limited as the provider of SAS Viya 4. Companies looking to partner or subcontract with SAS Software Limited may find advantageous roles in delivering associated support under the contract's umbrella. The high value of the contract, combined with its extensive period, denotes significant business prospects for well-established IT firms capable of handling large-scale software management within government frameworks.
