## Summary

Ofqual, a public body responsible for regulating qualifications, examinations, and assessments in England, recently completed a procurement process for "Software Licences" under the goods category, focusing on software package and information systems. Based in Coventry, Ofqual initiated a limited procurement method, awarding the contract via a framework agreement without a call for competition, as it fell outside the directive's scope. On 20th August 2025, the contract was signed with SoftwareOne UK Ltd, a large supplier located in London, for the organisation's software licence needs. The contract, valued at £318,272.82, is part of a completed procurement that included delivering services to the West Midlands region, specifically identified in the UKG33 area.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in providing customer off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions, seeking to engage with public sector clients. Companies experienced in entering framework agreements and operating within educational and public organisation environments would find it advantageous to compete in such procurements. The project was a limited procedure, meaning Ofqual required specific expertise, highlighting a niche for suppliers prepared to fulfil detailed and particular requirements without the need for extensive competition. Engaging in such contracts can assist businesses in establishing reputations as reliable public sector partners, fostering growth through increased visibility and the potential for future opportunities.
