## Summary

The UK Health Security Agency procured the renewal of its Planet licence for the period 2026–2029. Planet is identified within the procurement as an information technology service, with the main procurement category recorded as goods. The requirement is for UKHSA’s operations at 10 South Colonnade, London, and is therefore relevant to suppliers providing software licensing, licence renewals or associated information technology supply to public sector organisations. The named buying organisation is UKHSA. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier was Softcat Plc.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UKHSA selected Softcat Plc on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £77,417.49 including the published currency of GBP, for a contract running from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2029. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a single procurement rather than being divided into separately described lots. The award is active, and the published outcome records Softcat Plc as the supplier for the full Planet licence renewal requirement.

This award indicates an established requirement within UKHSA for Planet licence renewal delivered through a public sector framework call-off. Businesses seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need to provide the relevant Planet licensing or renewal service and understand the compliance, ordering and commercial processes associated with framework call-offs. The opportunity is potentially accessible to SMEs, so smaller technology resellers or licensing specialists may be credible competitors if they can meet the buyer’s requirements and obtain the necessary framework access. A supplier should be able to support a public sector customer throughout a multi-year licence term, manage renewal continuity and provide clear commercial and technical assurance for UKHSA.
