## Summary

QE Facilities Limited procured an IQ software licence, software and remote training. The requirement covers software access and associated remote instruction, classified as software and information systems. Delivery is associated with QE Facilities Limited’s Estates Department in Gateshead, England. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the scope also includes remote training. This buyer’s requirement combines licensing, software provision and user training rather than a standalone software purchase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BESA through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 31 August 2026, for £69,705. The stated contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender’s estimated value was £83,646, while its minimum value was £69,705. The requirement was treated as a single procurement, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The data does not set out a separate evaluation method or specific eligibility thresholds.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s recurring requirement, the award shows demand for a combined IQ software licence, software and remote training package, sourced through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software and licensing together with effective remote training, rather than offer software alone. The buyer selected BESA, identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that an SME supplier delivered the requirement at this scale. Suppliers with a suitable framework position and the capacity to support software users remotely are best placed to compete when this same requirement returns to market.
