## Summary

The Office for National Statistics bought cloud-based access to the latest version of NVivo (version 15), including software licences, maintenance and support. This is a software supply requirement with associated ongoing support, rather than a bespoke software development project. The stated purpose is to provide NVivo to the Office for National Statistics. Delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Akhter Computers Limited. The award was made on 21 September 2026, with a contract period from 24 September 2026 to 23 September 2027. The awarded value is £13,827.26. The estimated procurement value was also £13,827.26. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 3 September 2026 at 11:00. The published information does not set out a separate scoring or evaluation basis, nor does it divide the requirement into lots. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award indicates that the Office for National Statistics buys access to specialist qualitative data analysis software together with licence maintenance and user support. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply authorised NVivo licences, manage access to the current software version and provide dependable maintenance and support throughout the service period. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, showing that this scale of software supply and support can be served by a smaller business. Suppliers already able to fulfil public-sector requirements through a relevant framework call-off route would be well placed to compete if this buyer’s need returns to market. The commercial opportunity is suited to software resellers or licensing partners with the capability to handle renewals and respond to support needs, rather than firms focused only on software development.
