UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade procured a renewal of its Figma Enterprise subscription to support user-centred design across its Digital, Data and Technology teams. The service covers collaborative design, prototyping and handover of designs to developers, enabling teams to work together from design through to development. This is a software supply service (CPV 72268000), delivered for the department’s United Kingdom operations. The requirement is for an enterprise-level design software platform and associated subscription access, rather than bespoke design consultancy or general IT development. Figma Inc, based in San Francisco, was selected as the supplier for the department’s single completed requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Figma Inc through a below-threshold procedure without competition, following an assessment of the market and available routes to market. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and awarded on an active basis. Its period runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. The contract value is £70,800 excluding VAT, or £84,960 including VAT. There is one completed lot covering the enterprise subscription renewal. The published outcome confirms Figma as the selected supplier; no competitive tender or separate evaluation weighting is recorded for this direct award.

This requirement indicates demand from central government for enterprise collaborative design software supporting user-centred design, prototyping and developer handover. Suppliers seeking comparable work with the Department for Business & Trade would need a mature software platform capable of supporting multiple Digital, Data and Technology teams, with reliable collaboration across design and development workflows. Credible competitors would also need to demonstrate enterprise subscription management, secure delivery for a UK government customer and continuity for an established design capability. Experience supplying software rather than delivering standalone design services is the closest fit. The direct, below-threshold route and the incumbent award show the importance of an established product and a clear route to market.
