UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process under the title "DDaT26040 - Software Subscription 2026," specifically targeting the software package and information systems industry. This procurement was conducted without competition due to technical reasons, with only one suitable supplier available. The process was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, based in Swindon, with delivery expected across the United Kingdom. The award stage was completed on 27th February 2026, and the contract to supply these goods, valued at 32,480.87 USD gross, has been assigned to Atlassian Pty. Ltd., starting on 13th April 2026 and expiring on 13th April 2027.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses involved in software package and information system development. Although this procurement was conducted directly and without competition, businesses offering unique software solutions similar to what is specified could explore future opportunities with public authorities such as UK Research and Innovation. Given the nature of this contract awarded to a large-scale supplier from Australia, companies capable of delivering specialised software subscriptions could position themselves well for similar tenders requiring technical expertise with limited alternative suppliers. The procurement method highlights the potential advantage for suppliers with unique technical offerings or patented solutions.
