## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service, acting on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade, has awarded a contract for the provision of Tungsten Power PDF Business Licenses, concluding the procurement process. This contract, valued at £30,318.60, involves the delivery of licenses for 200 seats supporting both Mac OS and Windows devices, classified under facilities management software packages. The procurement method used was selective, leveraging a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract period spans from 5th February 2026 to 4th February 2029. Akhter Computers Limited has been awarded this contract, located at Harlow Business Park, Harlow, aligning with the requirements for SMEs, and further details can be accessed via the Crown Commercial Service website.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses within the software provision sector, particularly SMEs, to expand their client base by delivering essential software solutions to governmental bodies. Companies specialising in facilities management software and possessing the capacity to offer flexible licensing for cross-platform environments are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders. The ability to engage in selective procurement processes through framework agreements, like the one utilised here, can help streamline entry into contractual relationships with public sector entities, thereby facilitating business growth through long-term partnerships.
