Summary of the contracting process

The Wheatley Housing Group Limited procured digital certification authentication services, specifically authentication software supporting the group’s cyber security protection. This is a technology services requirement rather than a supply of general hardware or construction work. The service is associated with digital workplace and cyber security environments and is delivered for the group in Glasgow. The buyer is a housing organisation governed by public law, with responsibility for housing and community amenities. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and covered by the World Trade Organisation Government Procurement Agreement. Businesses operating in digital certification, identity authentication, cyber security software, digital workplace technology or related managed technology services would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The contract was awarded to Softcat Plc, following an open procedure, with the award made through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework Agreement. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it came from a non-EU supplier and was not from an SME. The contract is active and was signed on 17 June 2026. Its value is £118,299.60. The award covered the single lot for digital certification authentication software used in Wheatley Group’s cyber security protection. The published outcome identifies Softcat Plc as the selected supplier. The process was evaluated through the open-procedure framework route, with the requirement focused on provision of the specified authentication service and software.

This award is useful market evidence for technology businesses supplying digital certification authentication and cyber security software to housing organisations. The successful supplier was Softcat Plc, a large technology provider, and the requirement was placed through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework Agreement. A credible future competitor would therefore need access to an appropriate public-sector purchasing route, or the ability to work through one, together with established capability in digital workplace technology, certificate authentication and cyber security protection. The single electronic bid indicates a route suited to suppliers that can present a complete, compliant technology service rather than a narrowly defined standalone product. Experience serving public bodies and supporting secure digital environments would strengthen a comparable proposition.
