## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract for a license management software package as per the Contract Award Notice. This procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically classified under CPV code 48218000. The contract has been completed following a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract's delivery location is primarily in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with postal codes including PO6 3RU. The procurement process is now in the award stage, with key dates including the tender period end date on 30th July 2024, and the contract period spanning from 31st August 2024 to 30th August 2026. The awarding of the contract was made on 17th September 2024, and the announcement was published on 19th September 2024.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies involved in software development and management. The contract, awarded to Ultima Business Solutions Limited, demonstrates potential visibility and credibility gains for involved suppliers. Suitable bidders for similar opportunities would ideally be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer specialised software solutions. Given the selective procurement method and the call-off from an existing framework, businesses with prior experience in public procurement processes and those already on government frameworks would be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively.
