## Summary

Historic England procured a Cloudflare software subscription renewal for 2026–2027. The requirement is a software and information-systems service, including subscription provision, for use by the central government public authority. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The procurement was led by Historic England, based in Swindon. The scope was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate packages, covering the organisation’s Cloudflare subscription. This is relevant to software publishers, cloud and cybersecurity service providers, technology resellers, and managed service businesses supplying subscription-based information systems to public sector organisations. Suppliers would need to understand the commercial and operational requirements of renewing an established cloud software service for a national public authority.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition using a Request for Quote exercise. There was one completed lot. SOFTCAT PLC was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 5 August 2026 to 5 August 2027. Its value is £39,644.57 excluding VAT, or £47,573.48 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated requirement was Historic England’s Cloudflare subscription for 2026–2027. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the award covering software package and information systems and subscription services for delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates demand from Historic England for a managed renewal of a cloud software and information-systems subscription, procured through a focused quotation exercise rather than a fully open competition. Competitors would be best placed if they can supply or resell Cloudflare services, manage subscription renewals, and provide clear assurance around continuity of service for a public authority. Credibility would come from established relationships with major software publishers, experience handling enterprise or government technology accounts, reliable contract administration, and the capacity to maintain licensing and service access throughout the agreement. Businesses able to combine authorised software supply with responsive account support and public-sector procurement experience would be positioned more strongly when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
