Summary of the contracting process

HM Revenue & Customs procured Tenable licensing covering 40,000 assets. The requirement is a large-scale software and cyber-security licensing service, intended to support the department’s technology estate rather than physical goods or construction. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with HMRC based in London. The named supplier, Boxxe, is based in York and is classified as a large organisation. The procurement concerns services for a national government department, so relevant businesses are likely to include technology resellers, software licensing specialists and suppliers able to support enterprise-scale cyber-security estates. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the full 40,000-asset licence requirement, with an optional extension provision.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to Boxxe through a selective procurement using a restricted procedure. The award is active, although the associated lot is recorded as cancelled. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was based on price. The contract value is £398,400 and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The requirement included a 12-month optional extension. The award relates to the full Tenable licensing requirement for 40,000 assets. HMRC is the buyer. The outcome indicates that Boxxe was selected for the licensing service, while the lot-level cancellation status should be checked against the underlying procurement records if the status distinction affects any commercial or legal analysis.

This procurement demonstrates demand from HM Revenue & Customs for enterprise-scale Tenable licensing across 40,000 assets. A credible future competitor would need strong knowledge of Tenable’s licensing model, the ability to supply or manage a large software estate, and commercial capability to price a substantial single-package requirement competitively. Experience supporting central government or other complex organisations would help demonstrate that the supplier can handle public-sector governance, purchasing and service requirements at this scale. The recorded route was a restricted procedure with price as the evaluation basis, so suppliers would need to monitor and qualify for similar selective competitions and maintain disciplined, transparent pricing. Technology resellers, cyber-security specialists and licensing partners with sufficient organisational capacity are the closest fit.
