UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council procured one year of software maintenance for Mitamirri Management Studio. The requirement is for continued use and support of Management Studio through a software licence and associated maintenance service. It is classified as a licence management software package (CPV 48218000), placing the opportunity in the business software licensing and maintenance market rather than in general IT hardware or consultancy. Delivery is for Portsmouth City Council in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The procurement was arranged by Portsmouth City Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement concerns a single, undivided package covering the Management Studio software licence and its maintenance, so suppliers would need to address the complete software support requirement rather than a separate service element.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one lot. The contract was awarded to Ultima Business Solutions Ltd. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 16 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £49,433. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a goods procurement and links the award to the Management Studio software licence package. The available outcome data records the selected supplier and contract value, but gives no separate award date or detailed scoring criteria.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers that can provide and maintain Mitamirri Management Studio software licences for a public-sector customer. A credible competitor would need direct capability in Management Studio licensing, licence administration and software maintenance, with the capacity to support the council’s complete requirement for the contract period. The awarded supplier is a large business, indicating that the buyer has used an established commercial provider for this software requirement, although the procurement does not publish technical, accreditation or staffing requirements. Businesses tracking Portsmouth City Council should treat this award as evidence of demand for specialist management software support, and build a demonstrable record of reliable licence and maintenance delivery for public authorities before the requirement returns to the market.
