UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Open University procured an annual support licence for Healthy Working, covering a three-year support arrangement for the software. The requirement sits within software packages and information systems rather than consultancy, construction or general office equipment. The buying organisation is The Open University, a public authority based at Walton Hall in Milton Keynes. The selected requirement concerns continued support for the Healthy Working product, so relevant suppliers are those providing software support, licence renewals and related information-system services. The procurement was treated as a single requirement. Its practical purpose is to maintain access to and support for the Healthy Working system used by the university, rather than to acquire a broad software estate or a new multi-product technology platform.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The procedure was below threshold, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. The requirement was not divided into separately awarded lots. Cardinus Risk Management Limited received the award, which remains active. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £39,308.10 excluding VAT, or £47,169.72 including VAT. The award concerns the Healthy Working software support licence. The contracting process is recorded as complete, while the contract itself is active. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and the contract terms, but does not state an evaluation weighting or other scored award basis.

This award demonstrates demand from a UK public authority for ongoing support and licensing of a defined workplace-health software product. Competitors seeking comparable work would need to support Healthy Working itself, or demonstrate a credible ability to provide the product licence and associated technical support. Relevant strengths would include software licence administration, renewals, user assistance, incident handling, maintenance coordination and continuity of service across a multi-year public-sector arrangement. Suppliers would also benefit from experience working with university or other public-authority customers, including dependable account management, information-security awareness and the capacity to sustain support throughout the contract term. The incumbent’s position indicates that product knowledge and reliable renewal delivery are central to this requirement when similar support returns to market.
