## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in Glasgow, UK, recently completed a procurement process titled "Supply & Maintenance of Bowtie Licences" for an analytical or scientific software package. This process, classified under the CPV code 48461000, falls within the goods category and utilised a limited procurement method due to the impracticality of competition. The key contract was awarded on 31st December 2024 to ENABLON NETHERLANDS B.V., a large-scale supplier based in the Netherlands, and the contract is valued at £584,359. The procurement falls under the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024 and was deemed outside the directive's scope, thus avoiding a prior publication call for competition.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply and maintenance of specialised software packages, particularly within the defence sector. Companies in the analytical or scientific software industry, especially those with large-scale capabilities, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. With a focus on ensuring high-quality software and maintenance services, the successful bidder, ENABLON NETHERLANDS B.V., serves as a benchmark for other suppliers looking to enter or expand their presence in the public procurement market through similar future opportunities.
