Summary of the contracting process

The Government Actuary’s Department bought enterprise server licences for its ResQ software. This is a software licensing requirement, rather than a software development or implementation contract. The purchase sits within the goods category and relates to software packages and information systems. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Government Actuary’s Department awarded the single lot to TOWERS WATSON LIMITED through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £39,745.66 excluding VAT, or £47,694.79 including VAT. The published procurement information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria.

This purchase demonstrates demand from the Government Actuary’s Department for enterprise server licences for its ResQ software. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to be able to supply those licences and support the relevant enterprise licensing arrangement. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not show which suppliers would succeed in a competitive evaluation or what criteria would apply. The selected supplier is a large company, but the procurement information does not establish that a particular company size is necessary to meet the requirement.
