## Summary

Birmingham City Council has awarded a contract to provide an Application Filtering Software solution, specifically Smoothwall Licences, classified under license management software (CPV code: 48218000). The procurement, conducted under a selective "call-off from a framework agreement" method, falls into the services category and will be implemented in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. Initially tendered until 13th December 2024, the contract runs from 1st January to 31st December 2025, with a total value of £34,588.41.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions and digital services to enhance their market presence in the public sector. Although the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC, large companies are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders due to the scale and specific requirements involved. Companies involved in the procurement and management of software licences can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and client base by delivering tailored solutions to major city councils and other public entities.
