## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured a software subscription, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The purchase is a goods requirement intended for use in the United Kingdom. The procurement was made for UKSBS, which is the buying organisation. The available description identifies the requirement as “the Software Subscription” without setting out a more detailed product, licensing model, user group or technical specification. This opportunity therefore relates to suppliers providing commercial software subscriptions and associated licensing arrangements, rather than software development, consultancy or physical IT equipment. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the published procurement identified it as unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and completed as a direct award call-off from the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework, using a selective procedure rather than an open competition. Phoenix Software Ltd was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026 for £12,605.89 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off and resulted in one active award to Phoenix Software Ltd. The published description expressly identifies the process as an award notice rather than a call for competition, so it does not represent an opportunity to submit a bid for this contract.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates that UK Shared Business Services Limited buys relatively small-scale software subscriptions through the NHS Digital Workplace Solutions Framework. A credible future competitor would need a software subscription offering that fits workplace or information-system requirements, together with the licensing, account management and fulfilment capability needed to supply a public-sector buyer. Access to the relevant framework route would be important, since this purchase was made by direct award rather than through an open tender. The requirement’s stated SME suitability indicates that smaller software resellers or subscription providers can be relevant where they can meet the framework’s conditions and provide a dependable, compliant service to UKSBS.
