Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a central government public authority, has completed a procurement process titled "Informatica Licencing Transparency Notice" in the software industry category. The process was conducted through a direct award method, due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, awarding the contract for Informatica PowerCenter Licencing to Informatica Software Ltd., a large-scale supplier based in the UK. The total contract value is approximately £3,593,845.92, with the initial contract period running from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, and a potential extension up to 30th June 2031. The award was finalised on 16th June 2026, with a scheduled contract signature by 25th June 2026.

This contract represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for those in the software package and information systems sector. Businesses equipped to provide similar or complementary software solutions, and those with capabilities to support extensive licencing agreements, could find potential growth opportunities through subcontracting or providing ancillary services. This contract is particularly suitable for businesses that can match the scale and expertise of entities like Informatica Software Ltd., potentially positioning themselves for future direct awards or competitive tenders within the UK's public infrastructure projects.
