Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for UK INDUSTRIAL FUSION SOLUTIONS LTD has reached the award stage with the direct acquisition of Primavera P6 EPPM licences under the G-Cloud 14 CCS framework. This contract involves the procurement of scheduling software packages classified under CPV 48332000, valued at £631,662.08. The procurement method was limited, allowing for award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons. The locations covered by this contract include several regions across the UK such as UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The contract was awarded to Hyde Park Solutions Limited due to the absence of competition, with the award date finalised on 12th December 2025.

This procurement represents a growth opportunity, particularly for suppliers specialising in project management software (CPV 48331000) and other technological goods within the digital and tech industry. Business users who produce or supply software solutions that meet unique technical criteria could find similar opportunities through frameworks like G-Cloud. The procurement method ensures that contracts are awarded where competition is not possible, highlighting opportunities for businesses with specialised capabilities in software and services that meet strict technical requirements set forth by buying authorities. Hyde Park Solutions Limited, being an SME, exemplifies the type of business well-positioned to benefit from such sole-source procurements.

Notice Title

Primavera P6 EPPM Licences

Notice Description

Procurement of 50x Primavera P6 EPPM licences for use within the Programme and Project Management team using the G-Cloud 14 CCS framework.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Using the G-Cloud CCS framework, we used requirement-relevant search criteria to identify the potential suppliers that would be able to provide the Primavera P6 Licences. This is a direct award via the G-Cloud 14 framework since the chosen supplier was the only result that was generated from our searches.

Procurement Information

A direct award is justified on the basis that the G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14) was established under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) using a framework agreement procedure compliant with Regulation 33. Under Reg. 33(8), contracting authorities may award call-off contracts without reopening competition, provided the call-off follows the rules set out in the framework agreement. In accordance with the G-Cloud 14 Buyer's Guide and framework rules, the Authority is required to: - identify services that meet its needs using the Digital Marketplace search function, - apply objective, non-discriminatory filters aligned to the requirement, and - award the contract to the service(s) that best meet the Authority's needs from the list of available services returned. To meet this requirement, the Authority conducted a search on the Digital Marketplace under G-Cloud 14 Lot 2 and 3, using objective filters based on the mandatory technical, functional, security and delivery requirements of the project. These filters were aligned to the Authority's specification and applied consistently in accordance with PCR 2015 Regulation 18 (principles of equal treatment, transparency and proportionality). The search returned only one supplier (Hyde Park Solutions) offering a service that met all mandatory criteria. No other services listed under the framework met the requirement as defined. Under the G-Cloud framework rules, where only one service meets the requirement, the Authority is permitted to directly award to that supplier, as there are no alternative services capable of satisfying the need and therefore no competition to reopen. Further competition is neither required nor permitted under the framework where only a single service is identified as capable of meeting the Authority's needs. A mini-competition would not achieve any additional value and would be inconsistent with the framework calling-off procedures set out under Reg. 33(8)(a). Accordingly, the direct award is: - lawful under PCR 2015, specifically Regs. 18 and 33(8), - compliant with the G-Cloud 14 Buyer's Guide and framework rules, and - transparent and proportionate, given that the Authority relied on objective search criteria and the Digital Marketplace's complete list of framework services. For these reasons, the Authority considers that the direct award is fully justified and compliant with the applicable procurement regulations and framework requirements.
