## Summary

The procurement process, managed by UK Shared Business Services Limited on behalf of UK Research and Innovation, relates to the award of a contract for a Subscription for Office Productivity Application. This award notice, rather than a call for competition, indicates the completion of the procurement stage, specifically under the industry category of "Software package and information systems". The procurement utilised a selective method via a call-off from the CCS Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework. The contract, with a value of £16,544,736.80, was awarded on 16th December 2025, and will begin on 1st January 2026 and end on 31st December 2028, with delivery centred in Swindon, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for software providers specialising in office productivity solutions, particularly those equipped to manage large-scale contracts within established frameworks. While the process was conducted as a direct award, it highlights the scope of work expected from suppliers like Bytes Software Services Ltd., the awarded entity. Businesses that can support large public sector organisations and demonstrate a capacity for innovation in software delivery are well-suited to compete in such environments. SMEs are also encouraged, with suitability considerations indicating a preference for such enterprises, although the main contract was awarded to a larger organisation.
