## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "UKRI-6110 2026-2027 Autodesk Licenses" was conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire. This contract pertains to the renewal of Autodesk license subscriptions and support packages for various UK locations, including Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and STFC UK Astronomy Technology Centre, among others. The procurement reached the award stage with a contract signed on 17th June 2026. The procurement was carried out through a direct award method, deemed necessary due to the continuation requirement of existing licenses. The contract period is set between 20th June 2026 and 19th June 2027, with a total contract value of £360,000 GBP.

This tender represents a continuing opportunity in the software package and support services industry, specifically in the supply of Autodesk licenses. Businesses that specialise in software provision and support, particularly for scientific and technological applications, would find this beneficial. The awarded supplier, Man and Machine Limited, is categorised as an SME, suggesting that other small to medium enterprises with specialised expertise in similar software systems may have opportunities in future tender processes, particularly if they can demonstrate capability in handling extensions and support for existing technical systems. Given the specific technical needs and the direct procurement method, suppliers with existing relationships or niche expertise stand to benefit the most.
