## Summary

The procurement process led by the National Oceanography Centre, located in Southampton, England, involved a tender titled "Provision of Halo ITSM Licences." This contract falls under the industry category of software package and information systems and aimed to enhance existing ITSM requirements and integrate further licences across the NOC estate. The process used a selective procurement method facilitated as a call-off from the NHS framework agreement SBS10256. The tender period concluded on 1 January 2026, with the contract itself active from 23 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. The total contract value is £70,000. Key people like George-Oliver Matthews acted as the contact point for the buyer organisation.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for vendors specialising in IT software and information systems. Given the contract's substantial size and the backing of a notable research institution like the National Oceanography Centre, the business opportunity is well-suited for large-scale IT suppliers familiar with integrating complex software solutions in dynamic environments. While the procurement was competitive, favouring larger corporations due to its selective nature, it underscores the importance of framework agreements within the public sector procurement landscape.
