This is a software licensing and associated support requirement, classified under licence management software. The service supports Ofgem’s software and security technology needs rather than the supply of physical equipment or construction work. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. Ofgem is the buying organisation, based at South Colonnade in Canary Wharf, London. The requirement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to software licensing specialists, authorised resellers and providers of Metadefender products and support. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Oryxalign Limited on 15 June 2026. The awarded value is £38,402.40 including the stated currency of GBP, for a contract running from 15 June 2026 to 25 June 2029. The original tender submission deadline was 1 January 2026. Ofgem used an open procedure. The published requirement covered one service package rather than separate lots, combining the Metadefender platform, MetaScan and Silver Support. The recorded tender value was also £38,402.40. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Oryxalign Limited. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, with the available record identifying the requirement and contract award but no further award-criteria breakdown. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for enterprise software licensing covering the Metadefender platform, MetaScan and continuing Silver Support across a broad geographic footprint. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this type would have direct capability to supply or authorise these licences, understand Metadefender deployment and licensing arrangements, and provide dependable technical support throughout a multi-year service period. Credibility would also come from the capacity to support a UK public-sector buyer with users or operations extending across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other locations. The opportunity is particularly relevant to specialist software resellers, licensing partners and managed security technology providers, including SMEs able to combine product access with sustained support. ## Notice Access to Metadefender licences for 3 years.
