Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, procured a Patch My PC subscription for use in the United Kingdom. This is a software service covering software package and information systems, including licence management software development services. The requirement concerns access to Patch My PC’s subscription-based software capability rather than physical goods, construction or on-site delivery. The buyer is a central government public authority based in London. The selected supplier is Patch My PC, a large software provider headquartered in Colorado, United States. Businesses operating in software licensing, application patch management or related information-system services would find this procurement most relevant.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was awarded to Patch My PC on 22 May 2026 for USD 21,787.50 gross. The active contract runs from 22 May 2026 to 21 May 2027, and was signed on 22 May 2026. It covers one completed lot and concerns a single subscription requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering. The award and contract relate to services, with the requirement classified under licence management software development services and software packages and information systems. The recorded contract value is below the applicable threshold.

This procurement demonstrates that the UK Health Security Agency purchases subscription-based software to support software package and information-system management. A credible future competitor would need a mature product or service for managing software licences and related application or patching requirements, together with the ability to provide subscription access to a central government health-security organisation. Relevant suppliers are likely to be established software vendors, authorised licensing providers, or specialist managed-service businesses with a comparable software platform. The incumbent is a large US supplier, indicating that the requirement can be fulfilled by an international provider. Competitors should be able to support UK public-sector use, maintain reliable service delivery, and explain how their offering manages software licensing at this scale.
