## Summary

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has completed the procurement process for "The Provision of Opentext Content Manager Support and Maintenance," a project classified under software-related services. This involves renewing support for HSE's OpenText Content Manager v23.4, with services to be delivered across England, Scotland, and Wales. The procurement method was selective, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 21st January 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st March 2026 and set to end on 28th February 2027. The award was published on 25th March 2026, confirming that Oyster IMS will provide the services valued at £370,000.

This tender presents growth opportunities for SMEs, specifically those specialising in software and IT support services. Given the nature of the project, businesses with expertise in managing and maintaining on-premise software installations would be particularly well-suited to compete. Companies operating within the United Kingdom and adept at providing regional service delivery across its various locales could find this to be a lucrative contract. Although the contract has already been awarded, similar future opportunities may arise, offering business growth potential in the software services sector.

## Notice

HSE has an on-premise installation of OpenText (formerly known as Microfocus) Content Manager v23.4 alongside the 'Content Manager Web App' version. HSE needs to renew the support for the existing Content Manager installation.
