UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education purchased a yearly subscription for NVIVO, a specialist software licence used for qualitative data analysis and related research work. The requirement is classified as project management software development services, although the stated scope is specifically an NVIVO licence subscription rather than software development or implementation. This is a services requirement for the department, a central government organisation based in London. The procurement covered one requirement rather than multiple lots. It indicates demand from a public-sector research and policy organisation for continued access to a named analytical software product, making it most relevant to suppliers that provide NVIVO licensing, software subscriptions or closely associated account and licence-management services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to LUMIVERO UK LIMITED, an SME. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date and contract signing date were 6 July 2026. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £10,714.38 excluding VAT and £12,857.26 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published information identifies the procurement as a service and records a single supplier outcome. The contract title describes the purchase as an NVIVO licence subscription for the September 2026 to September 2027 period.

For software resellers, licensing specialists and authorised NVIVO partners, this award is evidence that the Department for Education buys recurring access to a named research and analysis platform through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the relevant NVIVO licence, manage subscription continuity and understand the needs of a central government research environment. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large technology integrator. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate reliable licence fulfilment, clear handling of subscription terms and experience supporting public-sector users of specialist analytical software.
