UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited procured OpenNMS software licences for its TTOC ESB 2627 requirement. The purchase is for IT software, specifically licences for OpenNMS, a network and systems monitoring platform. The requirement supports National Highways’ operational technology or communications environment associated with TTOC ESB 2627. The buyer is National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham. The awarded supplier, navinet limited, is a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Belfast. The opportunity is therefore relevant to software publishers, authorised OpenNMS licensing partners, specialist IT resellers and technology suppliers able to provide OpenNMS licences to a national infrastructure organisation. It is a focused software supply requirement rather than a construction, consultancy or general managed-services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. navinet limited received the award for the OpenNMS licences. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £38,000 excluding VAT, or £45,600 including VAT. The purchase was classified as an IT software package. The available procurement information identifies a limited competition rather than an open procedure; the recorded method is ‘below threshold - limited competition’. The published outcome shows an active award and an active contract with navinet limited. Evaluation was conducted within the limited competition route, with the requirement focused on supplying the specified OpenNMS software licences.

This procurement gives software suppliers a clear indication that National Highways buys specialist network and systems monitoring licences for its operational environment. A credible future competitor would need to supply OpenNMS licences directly or through an appropriate licensing channel, understand the product being purchased, and handle public-sector supply arrangements for a national infrastructure operator. The requirement is suited to specialist software publishers, authorised partners and IT resellers rather than generalist technology firms. navinet limited’s award also shows that an SME can win this type of focused software requirement through a below-threshold limited competition. Businesses targeting similar work with National Highways should develop a clear OpenNMS licensing proposition and be able to evidence reliable fulfilment of software orders.
