## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured cloud security services for its business operations. The requirement covers software and information systems, including the provision of cloud security subscriptions and associated services. It is classified as a goods procurement, although delivery concerns a specialist technology service and software requirement. The work is for the buyer’s operations in Swindon, England. The procurement was conducted through the Software Licence Reseller & Consultancy Services framework, Lot 4, which indicates a requirement for suppliers able to provide software licensing alongside consultancy and related support. UK Shared Business Services Limited is the purchasing organisation. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist technology resellers and cloud security providers.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a mini-competition under a framework agreement. The selective call-off process had a submission deadline of 24 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to Softcat plc on that date. The initial awarded value is £819,999.10 excluding VAT. A non-committed contingency allowance of £130,000.90 excluding VAT brings the maximum contract value to £950,000 excluding VAT; these amounts should not be treated as committed spend beyond the initial value. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2031. The award is active and covers the full cloud security subscription requirement rather than separately identified lots.

The award demonstrates substantial demand from UK Shared Business Services for managed cloud security and related software provision through an established public-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need the ability to supply cloud security subscriptions at significant scale, manage software licensing, and provide consultancy or technical support under framework call-off arrangements. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, so a specialist technology business with suitable delivery capacity can be relevant even without the scale of a large corporate supplier. Businesses should be able to evidence reliable service management, strong understanding of cloud security environments, and experience delivering public-sector technology requirements through structured competition. Reseller capability combined with technical expertise is particularly relevant to this buyer’s purchasing route.
