UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured the annual renewal of Oracle University licences for its 2026–27 requirements. This is an IT software package purchase, focused on maintaining access to Oracle University licensing rather than commissioning new software development, implementation or consultancy. The buying organisation is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham. The requirement is for National Highways’ own operational use in the United Kingdom. Oracle University licences are relevant to suppliers specialising in Oracle licensing, software subscription or licence-renewal services, particularly those able to support an established Oracle technology estate. The procurement covered one requirement rather than a range of separately described goods, works or service packages, and the selected supplier was Oracle Corporation UK Ltd.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The tender was evaluated through this direct procurement route, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 6 August 2027. Its value is £19,149.63 excluding VAT and £22,979.55 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The arrangement is an annual Oracle University licence renewal for National Highways Limited, with Oracle Corporation UK Ltd identified as the supplier. The procurement concerns goods, classified as IT software packages, rather than works or a general service framework.

This award indicates established public-sector demand for Oracle University licensing within National Highways’ technology environment. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need direct capability in Oracle licensing and renewals, with sufficient knowledge of Oracle’s University licence products and the commercial terms governing continued access. Credibility would come from being able to manage an existing Oracle relationship, maintain continuity of licence provision and handle renewal administration accurately for a central government organisation. Businesses should also be able to support public-sector procurement requirements and demonstrate dependable delivery for a single, defined software-licensing requirement rather than a broad technology transformation programme. Oracle Corporation UK Ltd’s selection through a direct, non-competitive below-threshold route shows the importance of incumbent-product expertise and supplier continuity for this requirement.
