Software Contracts and Tenders

See open software tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Software procurement covers software as a service, subscriptions and licence renewals, bought mainly as ready-made packages rather than built to order. The notices span case management, finance and payroll, HR, housing, document and compliance, project management and e-tendering systems.

Software buying is mostly done as call-offs from G-Cloud's Cloud Software lot, and buyers often test the market with preliminary engagement notices first. Buyers range from councils and housing associations to NHS trusts, universities, fire and rescue authorities and central government bodies.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about saas contracts, software contract, software tenders, software as a service, cloud software, software subscription in the UK public sector.

  • What counts as a software tender?

    Buying or renewing a software product counts: a SaaS subscription, a software licence, a G-Cloud Cloud Software call-off, or a bespoke build like a case management or asset management system. Support desks, network contracts and general cloud hosting are a different category and have their own page, IT Contracts and Tenders.

  • Who buys software contracts in the UK public sector?

    Councils, NHS trusts, central government departments, universities, colleges and housing associations all run software tenders. Finance, HR and payroll systems and case management platforms come up often, and a growing share is bought as a SaaS subscription rather than a one-off licence.

  • What's the difference between a SaaS contract and a software licence?

    A SaaS contract buys access to software the supplier hosts and runs, usually as an ongoing subscription with updates and support built in. A software licence more often buys the right to install and run software the buyer hosts itself, sometimes as a one-off cost with support and maintenance billed separately. Both routes now sit side by side on the same G-Cloud framework.

  • How do suppliers bid for public sector software contracts?

    Software tenders are published on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder, and through G-Cloud, where the Cloud Software lot is the main route for SaaS products.

  • What CPV codes cover software tenders?

    Software notices carry 48000000 (Software package and information systems), 72260000 (Software-related services) and 72268000 (Software supply services).

  • Which frameworks are used to buy software in the UK public sector?

    G-Cloud, the Crown Commercial Service framework for cloud services, is a common route. Its Cloud Software lot covers software as a service and licensed packages, and buyers use it for case management, payroll and HR, finance, document and compliance, project management and e-sourcing systems.

    Councils, NHS trusts, colleges, fire and rescue authorities and central government bodies such as the Ministry of Defence and the National Audit Office call off from it, either by direct award or through a further competition between the listed suppliers.
