## Summary

NHS England procured services for primary care virtual licences, covering the 2026–2028 requirement. The work falls within software licence management services and is intended to support virtual licensing for primary care. NHS England is the buying organisation and a UK central government public authority. The procurement concerns a single service requirement rather than separate works or goods packages. The awarded supplier, IRIS-Connect Ltd, is based in Southwick, West Sussex. The opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing software licensing, licence administration or related digital services for healthcare and public-sector users, particularly those able to support primary-care technology requirements at national NHS level.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. NHS England awarded the contract to IRIS-Connect Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £19,940 excluding VAT and £23,928 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the route used was targeted competition among selected suppliers. The recorded service classification is software licence management software development services. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of software licence management services serving primary care and NHS technology programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to show that it can administer or support virtual software licences reliably, understand the operational needs of primary-care users and work with a central public-sector healthcare buyer. The selected supplier, IRIS-Connect Ltd, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a business with substantial organisational capacity. Relevant firms should therefore assess their licensing operations, healthcare or public-sector delivery record, service-support capability and ability to manage a defined national buyer relationship.
