## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured a software licence subscription and associated support for its digital, data and technology needs. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems. UKRI is the buying organisation, with procurement managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, its shared service provider. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The supplier requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing software licensing, vendor-backed technical support, licence administration or related information-systems services. The procurement concerns a single requirement rather than a published multi-lot programme, and the recorded activity is categorised as goods, although the requirement combines a subscription with ongoing support. The selected supplier is Logicalis UK Limited, a UK SME specialising in technology and information-systems provision.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, justified on the basis that there was no competition for technical reasons and only a particular supplier could provide the required goods or services. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 13 August 2026 to 10 September 2027. The awarded contract value is £15,607.14 excluding VAT, or £18,728.57 including VAT. The contract is active and the award is active. UKRI awarded the contract to Logicalis UK Limited. The process was evaluated through a direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender, so the published outcome demonstrates a sole-source purchasing decision for this software licence and support requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from UKRI, this procurement indicates a defined need for software licence subscriptions backed by support over an extended service period. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can supply the required software package or information system, provide dependable licence entitlement and renewal management, and deliver responsive technical support throughout the service term. The stated justification means technical compatibility, proprietary rights, authorised-reseller status or another defensible reason for being the only suitable source would be especially important where the same platform is required. Relevant suppliers should be able to evidence product-specific expertise, continuity of support and the capacity to serve a central-government research organisation across the UK.
