UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Government Property Agency bought Enterprise Architect software licences for use by software architects, designers and developers. This is an IT software supply requirement, rather than a works or consultancy commission. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a public authority within central government, based in Birmingham. The requirement concerns the provision of a named enterprise architecture software product for professional users involved in software design and development. Businesses relevant to this procurement are therefore software publishers, authorised resellers, licensing specialists and technology suppliers able to provide Enterprise Architect licences to a UK government body and support the associated supply arrangements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The Government Property Agency used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. SOFTCAT PLC was selected as supplier. The award value was £24,602 excluding VAT, or £29,522 including VAT. The award contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 28 June 2027. A contract was signed on 13 July 2026, with the signed contract running from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering. It comprised one completed lot covering the Enterprise Architect software licences.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear indication that the Government Property Agency purchases Enterprise Architect licences for software architects, designers and developers. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the named software product, manage software licensing accurately and meet the needs of professional technology users across a UK government organisation. Relevant businesses include the publisher, authorised resellers and IT licensing specialists with dependable fulfilment arrangements. The procurement also shows that this buyer has used a below-threshold direct-award route without competition for a relatively small software licence requirement, so suppliers should understand public-sector purchasing and be able to respond efficiently to a defined product need.
