UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited purchased a renewal of Autodesk’s Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) software collection for its LTC Design Assurance Team and people working with the team. The package includes Docs, Revit and AutoCAD, along with other Autodesk products, and provides software support, maintenance and upgrades. The requirement covers five named-user licences. This is a software supply requirement for computer-aided design (CAD) tools used in design assurance work. The published delivery location is not stated, but the buyer is National Highways Limited, the central government public authority responsible for the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to TRANSOFT SOLUTIONS (UK) LTD. National Highways used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 28 October 2026 to 26 October 2027. Its value is £13,675 excluding VAT (£16,410 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The published contract details were amended to correct information about the scope, value and end date; the revised details are reflected here. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows National Highways buys Autodesk AEC licences for its LTC Design Assurance Team and collaborators, including Docs, Revit, AutoCAD and associated software support, maintenance and upgrades. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to supply the relevant Autodesk collection and support five named users. The buyer selected a supplier through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive scoring model or detailed capability thresholds. TRANSOFT SOLUTIONS (UK) LTD, an SME, was selected. A credible supplier would therefore need to meet the licensing requirement and provide the software services bundled with the collection; the contract does not set out further technical, accreditation or experience tests.
