## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited has initiated a procurement process for the renewal of the NAG software maintenance and support contract for the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under the title "UK SBS SSAIT18098 UKRI NERC NAG Software Renewal". This contract falls within the industry category of industry-specific software packages. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract period set to commence on 1st August 2018 and run until 31st July 2019. The total value of the contract is £31,270 and it was awarded to The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd on 21st June 2018. The tender was conducted through a direct procurement method as a single tender action deemed below the threshold.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for software companies, particularly those that specialise in mathematical and statistical software solutions. Businesses with expertise in providing software maintenance and support services for analytical tools would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. As this contract involves critical support for scientific research, prospective suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to deliver reliable services that ensure continuity and effectiveness for large-scale research projects.

## Notice

The NAG Library and Compiler have been widely used by NERC since the 1980's for complex mathematical and statistical computation. To provide continuation of service NERC requires the renewal of its NAG software maintenance and support contract for a further 1 year through The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd. As the NAG library of analytical software tools supports NERC mission critical Scientific research, failure to renew the NAG software maintenance contract would cause considerable disruption to existing and planned NERC projects and services.
