## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Science Museum Group aimed to acquire brand licensing software for its licencing team. This tender, classified under software package and information systems, involves the competitive flexible procedure. Located in London, the tender involves a contract period starting on 30th June 2026, with potential renewal options and significant investment. Initially active, the status of the tender was updated as cancelled on 2nd March 2026 due to a change in the process. An expression of interest was required by 15th March 2026. The procurement belonged to the goods category under a public authority – central government classification.

This tender originally presented a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in license management software development services. Companies specialising in software packages and systems could significantly benefit from this opportunity, anticipating business growth through collaboration with an esteemed institution like the Science Museum Group. Despite the cancellation, the project embodied a valuable chance for such businesses to showcase innovative solutions, which potentially may be revisited in future procurements. Businesses in regions accessible to London, particularly those flexible enough to adapt to competitive procurement methods, would be well-suited to collaborate on similar upcoming ventures.

## Notice
