## Summary

The NHS Business Services Authority, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, has completed its procurement process titled "SFG20 Annual Software Licence Renewal." This contract involves the renewal of a software licence required to access the SFG 20 service model web portal, essential for managing maintenance schedules. The procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically software support services, and employs a direct procurement method that was conducted below the threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 29th August 2025 and became active on 26th October 2025, with an end date set for 31st March 2027. This contract, valued at £23,421.75, was awarded to BESA Publications Ltd, a large business based in Penrith, UK.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses in the software support industry, particularly those offering maintenance and software licence renewal services. Companies capable of providing efficient software solutions and support services can utilise such contracts to enhance their client portfolio and revenue streams. While this specific procurement was achieved through direct contracting with a pre-existing large supplier, businesses aiming to engage in similar future opportunities should focus on aligning their offerings to meet the bespoke needs of public authorities like the NHS Business Services Authority. Being attuned to the latest industry developments and procurement methodologies can position companies advantageously when future contracts are announced.
