## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council has conducted a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Software Licence Agreements, Applications and Associated Services Framework," which falls under the software-related services industry category. The contracting process involved an open procedure and encompassed the supply of software licence agreements, applications, and associated services, serving both corporate needs and that of maintained schools and various arms-length organisations. This framework agreement allows access to all UK public sector organisations, with the contract commencing on 1st September 2025 and ending on 31st August 2029, having an overall value of £30 million. Key participants included large-scale suppliers such as Specialist Computer Centres PLC, Phoenix Software Limited, and CDW Limited, among others.

This procurement framework presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in software supply and consultancy services. It opens avenues for both large enterprises and SMEs, especially those involved with commercial off-the-shelf software and associated services like training, installation, and consultancy. Suppliers are expected to streamline processes through a digital portal, ensuring efficiency and transparency. Additionally, business entities with expertise in software licence management, pre-sales advice, and those capable of providing value-added services are well-suited to compete for this framework, potentially benefiting from long-term associations with public sector organisations across the UK.
