UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) procured Confluence and Jira software licences, classified as software packages and information systems. The award covers a single lot, with the contract specifically titled Jira Licences. The software is for use in the United Kingdom. The procurement is for licences rather than software development or implementation work, so suppliers specialising in the provision of these products are the closest fit. The buyer is the GMC, a public authority. Atlassian Pty Ltd was selected to supply the licences.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Atlassian Pty Ltd. The GMC used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 11 June 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2027. Its value is £25,490.75 excluding VAT, or £30,588.90 including VAT. The award covers one lot, and the contract is active. The procurement record does not provide award criteria or evaluation details beyond the direct, non-competitive route.

This award demonstrates demand from the GMC for Jira licences, alongside Confluence licences described in the overall requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the relevant Atlassian licences and support an organisation-wide or otherwise substantial licensing arrangement. Atlassian itself won this contract, indicating that direct supply of the software can meet the buyer’s requirement. The purchase is a defined software-licensing need, rather than a broader IT services or software-development contract. Suppliers should therefore be positioned to provide the products and manage the licensing arrangement at the scale required by a UK public authority. The procurement used a below-threshold direct award without competition; no specific technical accreditations, service capabilities or experience requirements are stated.
