Summary of the contracting process

The Pirbright Institute, a sub-central government public authority located in Woking, UK, initiated a procurement process titled "BARCO 3-year service contract." This contract pertains to the software industry category, specifically for software packages and information systems. The process is at the contract stage, having been directly awarded without competition due to being below the threshold. The tender focuses on providing licenses and essential care software to enhance the reliability of the BARCO system, with a contract duration from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026. Key dates include the contract signing on 14th October 2025, with a total contract value of £31,677.68 GBP.

Businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, especially those capable of improving control room operations, would find opportunities in this contract. Such contracts allow businesses to establish or strengthen their foothold in providing critical software solutions for government institutions. SMEs involved in the technological enhancement and software licensing sectors would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities, given the specific nature and demands of the contract, although this particular opportunity was awarded directly to Barco NV, indicating the potential for specialised providers to engage in similar procurement processes in the future.
