Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham has completed the procurement process for Oracle Licensing, involving updates, licences, and support within the goods category. This tender was initiated without prior publication of a competition call due to its classification as outside the directive scope, using a direct award rationale. It pertains to the industry category of license management software, specifically for use with Oracle software. The services are required to legally use Oracle software and access essential technical support and updates. The contract has been awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Limited on 4th April 2026, with a total contract value of £75,345.27 GBP. The procurement was conducted in the United Kingdom within the Durham region.

This tender presents businesses in the IT solutions and software management domain with the opportunity to engage in future competitions involving high-value technology procurements. Organisations adept in providing software licensing solutions and technical support services may find beneficial partnership or sub-contracting opportunities with entities such as Oracle Corporation. While this procurement utilised a limited procedure without a competition call, understanding and adapting approaches for participating in future tenders can offer substantial business growth potential, particularly for those specialising in software support and management within the public law domain. Such tenders can enhance visibility and engagement with bodies governed by public law, like the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, enabling companies to strengthen their presence in the public sector market.
