## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured an academic annual subscription for SnapGene, covering 365 licence activations. The requirement is for software supply services supporting UKRI’s research and academic activities. The subscription is supplied by GraphPad Software LLC, a large software supplier based in the United States. The purchasing organisation is UKRI, a central government public authority headquartered in Swindon, Wiltshire. The service is for use in the United Kingdom. The requirement is specifically for SnapGene rather than general software development, consultancy or laboratory equipment, so relevant businesses are those able to supply this named scientific software product and associated academic licensing arrangements at organisational scale.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to GraphPad Software LLC. The award is active and the contract was signed on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 20 September 2026 to 19 September 2027. Its value is USD 57,816 gross. UKRI selected the supplier for the SnapGene academic yearly subscription covering 365 activations. The procurement was classified as software supply services. This is an awarded outcome rather than a live opportunity, and the contract is active for the stated one-year period. The available process information records a single supplier and a single requirement, with no competitive evaluation between multiple bids.

For suppliers assessing comparable future demand, this procurement shows UKRI’s requirement for a substantial academic deployment of a named scientific software product, with 365 activations delivered through a single annual subscription. Businesses well placed for similar work would need the ability to supply SnapGene licences for research users, manage organisation-wide or institution-wide academic licensing, and support a deployment of this scale. Relevant capability is software supply rather than bespoke development or physical laboratory provision. GraphPad Software LLC is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that capacity to handle a sizeable licence allocation and the associated commercial administration is important. Experience supplying research organisations or academic users would help demonstrate credibility for this specific requirement.
