This contract involves the management of the HTA Licence for the period starting April 2026. The procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on licence management software development. The process was conducted as a direct, below-threshold procurement without competition, culminating in a contract signed on 31st March 2026. This contract, valued at £20,000 excluding VAT, was awarded to the Human Tissue Authority as the supplier and is set to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with its administrative tasks based in Liverpool, UK.
