## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency has awarded a contract for VTF Lab Information Management System Licences 23/24 to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract value is £117,929.35 in GBP, with a contract period starting on September 27, 2023, and ending on September 30, 2024. The tender period ended on September 26, 2023. The buying organisation is based at 10 South Colonnade, London, E14 5EA, United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity for License management software package licenses by the UK Health Security Agency presents potential business growth opportunities for firms specialising in software licenses and IT solutions. Companies capable of providing concurrent user licenses and related support and maintenance services would be well-suited to compete. The award of this contract signifies ongoing procurement activities in the IT sector within the United Kingdom.

## Notice

To complement the Lab Information Management System implementation, UKHSA requires 35 concurrent user licences. UKHSA already has these perpetual licences pre-paid as they were purchased for use at Rosalind Franklin Laboratory but were surplus to requirements. These licences are to be transferred to MIG-VTF for use. To activate the licences the support/maintenance costs must be back-paid from their expiry in May 2023 and paid ahead for the year to come. Due to revenue recognition regulations, Thermofisher has indicated that they are unable to incorporate the cost of these licences into the quote for the Laboratory Information Management System purchase and implementation and therefore they must be purchased separately.
