Software Contracts and Tenders
See open software tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Software procurement here means SaaS contracts, subscriptions and licences, plus anything bought through G-Cloud's Cloud Software lot, from a council swapping out its finance system to an NHS trust renewing a case management licence. Service desks, networks and cloud hosting sit on the IT Contracts and Tenders page instead.
Most of what is on record is already awarded.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about saas contracts, software contract, software tenders, software as a service, cloud software, software subscription, software licensing, SaaS, database software 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 tenders map most often to a general software package and information systems heading, alongside codes for software-related services, software supply services, and maintenance of IT software. A single notice often carries two or three of these together.
