Summary of the contracting process

The UK Hydrographic Office has completed a procurement process for a 3-year Adobe Enterprise License Agreement under the classification of document creation and imaging software packages. The procurement, classified in the "goods" category, was focused within the South West region of the United Kingdom and followed a single-source procurement method. The contract, valued at £700,000, began on 6th October 2025 and will end on 5th October 2028. The tender was awarded on 2nd October 2025 to Adobe Systems Europe Limited, and the latest publication date of this award was on 28th October 2025.

This tender presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those providing document creation and imaging software. While the procurement was single-sourced to a large-scale company, opportunities may arise in the future for businesses able to offer competitive software solutions tailored to large governmental organisations like the UK Hydrographic Office. Although this particular tender was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, companies in the software industry should monitor similar government needs to provide competitive offerings in this domain.
