AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero published a transparency notice for a direct, below-threshold renewal of JIRA and Confluence licences for the RREMS System. The supplied record identifies EFICODE UK LIMITED as supplier, but the primary award record is pending and gives a future signature milestone; the evidence does not confirm that a contract was signed.
Published outcomeA direct award record names EFICODE UK LIMITED for lot 1. The primary notice data shows award 1 as pending, while a separate supplied award row shows award 2 as active; these records have the same stated net value and lot and cannot safely be treated as separate commercial commitments.
Market significanceThis is a small software-licensing renewal reported as a below-threshold direct procurement without competition.
