## Summary

UK Research & Innovation, a sub-central government public authority located in Swindon, United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process titled "UKRI-4875 Autodesk Licenses". This tender, initiated as a direct award, focused on the annual renewal of an existing Autodesk license subscription and support package for multiple sites, including the Science and Technology Facilities Council and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, among others. The procurement process reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 23 May 2025 and effective from 20 June 2025 through 19 June 2026. The process was not open for competitive bids since the service requires extending current licenses, qualified under single supplier technical reasons. The main procurement category involved goods, particularly software packages and support services, available for delivery across various locations in the UK.

The tender opportunity offers a significant contract for businesses specialising in software package delivery and support services, highlighting potential growth in this sector. Although this specific procurement was a direct award to Man and Machine Ltd, it exemplifies the opportunities for firms providing niche technological solutions aligned with existing infrastructure needs of large public bodies. SMEs with expertise in software licensing and support could position themselves strategically to engage in similar future tenders, thereby increasing their exposure and business capabilities within the public procurement space.
