## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited (UKSBS) procured software development licences and associated support, classified as development software and software support. The requirement is for access to development software licences together with support services; the published description does not break this down into named products, quantities or technical functions. Delivery is stated to be in the United Kingdom, with UKSBS based in Swindon, England. This is a goods procurement with a supporting service element, for the organisation’s digital, data and technology needs. The work is specific to supplying and supporting software development licences rather than a general software development project or a wider IT services contract.

The procurement is complete and awarded. UKSBS selected Eficode UK Ltd through a longlist-and-shortlist exercise under the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a framework call-off route. The award was made on 23 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £195,469.60 excluding VAT for a 15-month term, with the contract period running from 17 October 2026 to 13 January 2028. The description states that contingency within the contract must not exceed £200,000 excluding VAT; this is a contingency limit, not an additional awarded value. The tender deadline was 21 July 2026. No separate lots are described. SMEs were considered suitable. The available procurement information does not set out a specific scored evaluation criterion.

For suppliers that provide development software licences and support, this award shows UKSBS’s demand for a combined licensing and support arrangement procured through a government framework call-off. Eficode UK Ltd, an SME, won the contract, demonstrating that a supplier of SME scale can compete for this requirement. A credible competitor when UKSBS next buys this service would need to supply suitable software development licences and provide the associated support within a framework-based purchasing route, while delivering across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for licences and support rather than a broad software engineering delivery team, so suppliers whose offer centres on licensing and ongoing product support are the closest fit. The award gives a concrete example of the buyer’s requirement and chosen supply model.
