About
UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Harris Geospatial Solutions UK Limited for the supply of Interactive Data Language (IDL) licences for the UK astronomy and astrophysics research community.
The contract provides 4000 transferable software licences and associated hubs to support almost 70 different groups across over 40 research institutions in the UK.

The contract value is £70,000.
