UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the United Kingdom has completed a procurement process for the "Renewal of Optimal Workshop Subscription," aimed at obtaining software support services. This process falls under the industry category of services, particularly in the software support services sector. The process concluded with an award on 28 January 2026, and the contract is active, spanning from 30 January 2026 to 29 January 2027. The procurement was conducted below threshold with unknown specifics, reflecting the UK's legal framework as per legislation 2023/54. The contract, valued at £13,000 net (£15,600 gross), involves Optimal Workshop Limited from New Zealand as the supplier.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software support services, particularly those with capabilities in subscription renewal operations. Given the international involvement with a supplier from New Zealand, businesses aiming to expand their global presence may find similar opportunities appealing. The procurement is well-suited for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its below-threshold nature, offering a competitive yet accessible entry point into government contracting with a central government authority, thereby facilitating potential collaborations and entry into public sector service provision.
