Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council procured Jira software-related services for an annual Jira Standard licence supporting 100 users. The requirement covers renewal of the council’s Jira software licence rather than implementation, custom development or wider information technology services. The buying organisation is Gloucestershire County Council, based in Gloucester, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 72260000, software-related services. This requirement will suit suppliers that provide Jira licensing or associated software subscription services to public authorities, particularly those able to support a defined user base through a standard annual licence arrangement. The council’s stated requirement is specific to Jira Standard for 100 users.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition, described as limited competition, with one lot. The award is active. The award date is not recorded, while the contract was signed on 24 May 2026. The contract runs from 24 May 2026 to 23 May 2027. Its value is £24,573.42 excluding VAT, or £29,488.10 including VAT. PHOENIX SOFTWARE LIMITED is the selected supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid, and the contract relates to software-related services for the Jira Standard licence requirement.

This procurement shows Gloucestershire County Council’s demand for a defined Jira licensing service covering 100 standard users. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need direct capability to supply Jira Standard licences and manage or support annual software subscription renewals for a public-sector customer. Relevant experience would include handling licensing at this user scale, maintaining accurate entitlement and renewal arrangements, and providing dependable software-related service around the licence. The completed limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers need to be able to respond efficiently to a focused requirement rather than relying on a broad technology transformation offer. Software resellers, licensing specialists and established Jira service providers are the closest-fit businesses for this buyer and requirement.
