## Summary

The public procurement process for the contract titled "UK5 - SAP Licences and Support," initiated by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), involves the procurement of SAP licences and services to support the DLIS Project. The project is situated within the defence and security category and the procurement method employed is a direct award due to the specific intellectual property rights owned by SAP. The award stage was completed on 30th June 2026, with the contract period beginning on 9th July 2026 and running until 9th July 2033, covering London and the wider UK. The main procurement categories are goods and services, involving software package and information systems as well as software support services, valued at a significant amount of GBP, with contracts totalling multiple millions across various service lots.

This procurement represents substantial growth opportunities, especially for large-scale businesses specialising in software solutions and licensing, like SAP (UK) Limited, the sole supplier in this contract. Companies with expertise in providing software packages, information systems, and their maintenance and support may find lucrative options through scheduled phases over the seven-year contract period. The direct award procurement method highlights the MoD's reliance on specific suppliers possessing exclusive rights and capabilities, thus opening doors for businesses with unique and proprietary solutions meeting niche governmental requirements.
