UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive procured renewal of Autodesk software licences, together with maintenance and support for its existing Autodesk implementation. This is a software licensing and IT support service, rather than a new software development project. The requirement covers one lot and is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The Housing Executive is the buyer. The work centres on continuing access to Autodesk software and keeping the organisation’s implementation supported. The procurement also allows for additional goods or services during the contract, subject to the tender documentation. Suppliers should therefore have the capability to provide Autodesk licence renewals and ongoing product maintenance and support for a public-sector customer.

The procurement has been awarded to NTI Digital Solutions UK Ltd, an SME; the award is recorded as pending. The award date was 28 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2029, with extensions of up to 24 months and a maximum period ending 18 October 2031. The estimated value and awarded value are each £300,000 excluding VAT (£360,000 including VAT). The Housing Executive used a competitive flexible procedure with a selective method. Two bids were received and one reached the final stage. The single lot was evaluated on cost alone, weighted at 100%. The contract includes an option for additional purchases during its term.

This award shows demand for renewal and support of the Housing Executive’s Autodesk software, including the ability to supply licences and maintain an existing implementation. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to be an authorised Autodesk reseller, as expressly required of tenderers, and able to provide both the software renewals and associated maintenance and support. The requirement is a single, substantial service engagement for an established public-sector customer, so suppliers should be equipped to manage ongoing support and the possibility of additional purchases within the same arrangement. The evaluation was based entirely on cost, making competitive pricing central to the winning offer. The competition also attracted an SME to the final stage, showing that a smaller supplier was able to compete for this requirement.
