## Summary

West Yorkshire Combined Authority procured Blue Prism digital worker software licences and production support, classified as office automation software. The requirement is for licences and ongoing support for the Authority’s digital worker system, delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement was described as a contract under the Bluelight Commercial ICT Framework for Digital Worker Licences and Production Support. This is a technology services requirement combining software access with operational support, rather than a purchase of standalone equipment or general IT services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat Pls. The award was made on 16 October 2026, with the contract running from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030. The awarded value is £490,759.20. The buyer used a selective procedure through a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are stated in the process details, so the outcome is presented as one award to one supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from West Yorkshire Combined Authority for Blue Prism digital worker licences coupled with production support, delivered through the Bluelight Commercial ICT Framework. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide access to the specified automation software and the capability to support it in production over a multi-year service period. Credibility would depend on being able to meet the buyer’s operational support needs as well as licensing requirements, and on access to the relevant framework route. The procurement was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller providers may be positioned to compete where they can demonstrate the necessary software supply and support capability.
