Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured services to renew Adobe Pro software licences. The requirement falls within software packages and information systems, with the main category being services. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council, based at Priory House, Chicksands, in Bedfordshire. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is a software renewal requirement rather than a works project or supply of physical equipment. It is relevant to software licensing providers, Adobe resellers, managed software suppliers and technology businesses supporting public-sector organisations with the continuation or administration of Adobe Pro licences.

The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. It used a quotation process, with electronic quotations required through the In-tend tendering system. The submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 10:00. Central Bedfordshire Council awarded the contract to Softcat plc on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £0.00, as recorded in the award. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. The award is active. The published information identifies the requirement as a service for Adobe Pro renewal and records the outcome, but does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown or multiple lots.

This award indicates a defined software-renewal requirement within Central Bedfordshire Council and shows that the council used a quotation route and electronic tendering process for this type of purchase. Businesses assessing comparable future requirements should be able to supply or renew Adobe Pro licences and manage the associated public-sector purchasing process through the council’s electronic tendering arrangements. The successful supplier was Softcat plc, demonstrating that an established technology reseller or software procurement provider can satisfy the requirement. The opportunity is most relevant to businesses with direct Adobe licensing capability, dependable access to the required products, and the administrative capacity to submit complete quotations and supporting attachments in the required electronic format.
