## Summary

The British Business Bank procured a software provider to manage renewals for all non-Microsoft software licences and related software products. The requirement covers the organisation’s non-Microsoft software estate and renewal management over a multi-year service period, with an optional extension. It is classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000) and falls within the goods category. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is based in Sheffield. This is a technology licensing and software supplier opportunity suited to providers able to administer diverse non-Microsoft licences and coordinate renewals across a geographically broad operating footprint.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a further competition under the GCA RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, Lot 3. Bids were due by 15 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to CDW Limited on 27 July 2026. The awarded value is £2,000,000. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2030, covering three years with an optional one-year extension. CDW Limited is the selected supplier. The procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the framework further-competition route; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from the British Business Bank for managed non-Microsoft software renewals rather than a single product purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need broad knowledge of non-Microsoft licensing models, strong renewal planning and administration, and the ability to manage multiple publishers, entitlements, support arrangements and renewal deadlines. The buyer’s use of a technology-products framework and a further competition shows that suppliers should be capable of competing through an established public-sector route, with compliant catalogue and commercial processes. The wide delivery footprint also favours providers with mature account management, centralised licence records, dependable service controls and the capacity to support software estates across the UK and international locations.
