## Summary

The recent contracting process by the Environment Agency, a sub-central public authority based in London, has concluded with the award for "Purchase of UKCEH 900 Licenses." This procurement falls under the industry category of IT software packages and involves the acquisition of supplier-owned licences to access a critical dataset that supports operational delivery. The selected supplier is the UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, located in Oxfordshire. The procurement method was direct, below threshold, and executed without competition. The relevant contract was signed on 28th March 2025 and covers the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with its status marked as active from the award date of 30th May 2025.

Although the procurement utilised a direct approach without competition, understanding the needs and partnerships between agencies like the Environment Agency and suppliers can inform future tender strategies. Small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in data solutions and software packages, like the awarded UK Centre of Ecology and Hydrology, are well-poised to leverage similar opportunities and expand their footprint within the public sector.
