Summary of the contracting process

The Equality and Human Rights Commission, based in Manchester, England, has completed a procurement process titled "EHRC 2526-27 Adobe ETLA," related to the provision of Adobe licenses. This procurement falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, and it includes deliveries to England and Scotland within the United Kingdom. Managed by Crown Commercial Services under Lot 3 of the RM6098 Framework Agreement, the tender used a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement reached the award stage on 5th March 2026, with the award notice published on 17th March 2026. Key contract dates include a start on 1st April 2026 and an end on 31st March 2029.

This tender provides growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those experienced in offering enterprise licensing solutions. As the agreement was crafted under a framework, SMEs and VCSEs were deemed suitable, presenting an advantageous opportunity for smaller entities seeking to expand their client base by securing high-profile public sector contracts. Bytes Software Services Ltd, an SME based in Surrey, successfully won the contract, highlighting the ability for smaller companies to compete effectively in the public procurement landscape. Businesses with capabilities in software license management and delivery within the UK could find similar opportunities to leverage their expertise in upcoming projects.
