## Summary

National Highways Limited is buying an IT software package under the title ITEP1260 – LexisNexis 26/29. The description identifies this as an agreement with LexisNexis, but does not explain the software’s function or intended use. The procurement is categorised as goods. No delivery location or operational site is identified, so the stated requirement is for software rather than work at a named place. The selected supplier, Tracesmart Limited, is based in Cardiff. The available description does not establish whether the software is hosted, installed on National Highways’ systems, or supplied with implementation or support services; the requirement therefore appears focused on the software agreement itself.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tracesmart Limited. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award value is £15,434.64 excluding VAT (£18,521.57 including VAT). The agreement runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2029, a three-year term. The award is associated with one lot, and the award entry records its status as pending. The award date is not stated. The published procurement data does not describe an evaluation basis or set out eligibility requirements. The contract period and value therefore describe the recorded agreement, while the procurement route indicates that suppliers were not invited to compete for this award.

For suppliers of business software, this award shows that National Highways purchases LexisNexis software through a direct, below-threshold route and has selected a large supplier, Tracesmart Limited. The requirement is described only as an IT software package, so the data does not establish a particular technical specialism, accreditation, implementation capability or support model as a condition of supply. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to offer the relevant LexisNexis software or a suitable route to supply it, and be able to support a multi-year agreement with a central government buyer. The recorded award demonstrates demand for a three-year software agreement, but does not indicate whether the buyer would use the same supplier or procurement route for any later purchase.
