The procurement process for the "Adobe licence renewal" project, managed by The Crown Estate, has reached the 'award update' stage. The contract, valued at £58,399.68, falls under the information technology services category and is set across the United Kingdom.

The procurement also shows details of prior publication on 16 December 2024, relevant to businesses interested in software and IT services renewal contracts.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing information technology services, specifically related to software licensing solutions.

The use of a direct procurement method indicates potential for establishing direct relationships with public sector agencies, particularly for businesses offering niche IT solutions and services. This contract may not be suitable for SMEs or VCSEs due to the specific suitability criteria outlined.
