## Summary

FCDO Services procured a Paygate annual software licence for use by the central government organisation. The requirement is for one year of access to Paygate software, classified as an IT software package. FCDO Services is the buyer and is based at Hanslope Park, Milton Keynes. The procurement concerns a single software requirement rather than separate service or works packages. Businesses relevant to this requirement are software vendors, licensing providers and specialist resellers able to supply Paygate or an equivalent authorised software licensing arrangement for a UK central government customer. The selected supplier, Paygate Solutions Limited, is an SME based in Oxfordshire, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only by a large technology integrator.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. FCDO Services used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. Paygate Solutions Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2027. Its value is £12,283.76 excluding VAT and £14,740.51 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, under the legal basis recorded as UK legislation 2023/54. This outcome shows a relatively small, defined software licensing purchase with a single supplier and a fixed annual contract period.

For suppliers assessing future demand from FCDO Services, this award demonstrates a recurring need for Paygate software licensing within a central government environment. A credible competitor would need to hold the relevant software distribution or licensing rights, understand annual licence administration and renewal, and provide dependable access and support for an operational public-sector customer. Experience supplying government or other organisations with controlled software procurement would help, particularly where licence continuity and accurate contract administration matter. The selected provider is an SME specialising in Paygate solutions, so specialist software firms and authorised resellers may be well placed to compete if this requirement returns to market. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, making familiarity with the buyer and the product particularly relevant.
