## Summary

Salford City Council procured a renewal of its Autodesk software subscription, classified as software and information systems. The software supports design, modelling and project delivery across the council’s Place service areas, including engineering, architecture, highways, planning and infrastructure. It is described as critical to operational service delivery. The requirement is for continued access to Autodesk software rather than a broader design or construction service. The contract was awarded to ARKANCE UK LIMITED. The procurement relates to the council’s Place functions; the contract data identifies the United Kingdom as the delivery country.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Salford City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to ARKANCE UK LIMITED. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 22 August 2026 to 21 August 2027. Its value is £46,992.50 excluding VAT, or £56,391 including VAT. The tender description explains the business need: maintaining access to Autodesk applications used across the council’s Place services. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier, but does not state the award date or provide an evaluation method or award criteria.

For suppliers considering similar work for Salford City Council, this award demonstrates demand for renewal of Autodesk software supporting engineering, architecture, highways, planning and infrastructure functions. A credible competitor would need to supply or renew the relevant Autodesk subscription and support continuity for software used across several operational service areas. The awarded supplier, ARKANCE UK LIMITED, is a large company, showing that an established software supplier can meet this requirement. The procurement was conducted through limited competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to engage with a restricted competitive process. The scope is software subscription supply, not delivery of the council’s engineering, architectural or infrastructure projects.

## Notice

Autodesk software is a critical business application used extensively across Place service areas to undertake the design, modelling and delivery of projects. The software supports a wide range of engineering, architectural, highways, planning and infrastructure functions and is therefore essential to maintaining operational service delivery.
