Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited, a housing organisation based in Middlesbrough, procured a 12-month licence renewal for Tenable software. The requirement is classified as goods and covers software packages and information systems. Delivery spans England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement therefore concerns continued access to an established cybersecurity software product rather than new software development, implementation works or general IT support. Businesses whose core activity is supplying Tenable licences or related software packages to housing organisations are the closest fit. The buyer’s requirement is focused on maintaining software licensing across its operational footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to BOXXE LIMITED. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026, with an active contract period from 18 August 2026 to 17 August 2027. Its gross value is £42,884.96. The selected supplier is a large software and technology provider based in York. The purchasing route was a limited procedure, rather than an open competition, and the requirement was treated as below the applicable threshold. The outcome demonstrates a single-supplier award for the Tenable renewal, with the contract covering the stated licence period. No separate awards or contract values are reported.

This procurement is commercially relevant to established software resellers, licensing specialists and technology suppliers able to provide Tenable renewals for a public-sector housing organisation. A credible competitor would need direct capability to supply the named software, manage subscription or licence continuity, and handle the commercial and administrative requirements of a below-threshold limited competition. Experience supplying software packages and information systems to organisations operating across multiple English regions would be useful, particularly where uninterrupted access and straightforward renewal management matter. The award to a large supplier indicates that the buyer accepted a provider with the capacity to support an organisation-wide software requirement. Suppliers tracking this buyer should focus on Tenable licensing and closely related cybersecurity software provision.
