## Summary

The Office for National Statistics procured an on-demand Immersive Labs licence for the period covered by the requirement. This is a goods procurement for computer supplies, supporting access to the Immersive Labs platform rather than the delivery of physical equipment or construction work. The buying organisation is the Office for National Statistics, based in Newport, Wales, and the requirement is for use in the United Kingdom. The scope centres on supplying an organisational licence to an online immersive learning environment. Businesses relevant to this requirement include software licensing resellers, technology suppliers and providers with rights to supply Immersive Labs licences to public sector customers across the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to XMA Ltd on 28 May 2026 for £41,082.36 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The tender submission deadline was 15 May 2026 at 11:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the on-demand Immersive Labs licence requirement for the Office for National Statistics. XMA Ltd is the selected supplier for the full awarded requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for an on-demand Immersive Labs licence supplied through a public sector framework. A credible future competitor would need access to the relevant Immersive Labs licensing arrangement, the ability to provide the service to a UK public sector customer, and experience managing organisational software or subscription licences. Framework appointment or an established route to framework call-offs would be important, because this procurement was made through that route rather than as an open standalone competition. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so smaller technology suppliers and licensing specialists may be well placed where they can evidence reliable fulfilment, clear licence administration and public sector account management.
