Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons procured a workflow management solution, specifically the provision of workforce licensing. This is a technology services requirement covering software-related services, including IT consulting, software development, internet services and support. The work is for the House of Commons and is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Westminster, London. The requirement is suited to suppliers that provide workforce licensing and can support the operation of a workflow management platform in a public-sector environment. The selected supplier was Smartblue Limited, an SME based in Dorset, England. The procurement concerned one requirement rather than a range of separately described goods, works or service packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Smartblue Limited. The award was active and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract value is £105,000. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the Crown Commercial Service RM1557.14 GCloud 14 framework mini-competition. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. One bid was recorded. The procurement was classified as software-related services. The tender covered a single lot for workforce licensing; that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The award is therefore the relevant outcome for understanding the buyer’s selected supplier and spend.

This procurement shows demand from the House of Commons for workforce licensing within a workflow management solution, procured through the GCloud 14 framework mini-competition route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply or implement workforce licensing and demonstrate strong capability in workflow management, software-related services, IT support and related consulting. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, so suppliers should be able to evidence a reliable technical solution, effective service support and the ability to operate in a public-sector setting, alongside competitive pricing. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist technology business can meet the buyer’s requirement without being a large national provider.
