Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency procured an Adobe Licence Suite for 2026/27. This is a software licensing service under the broader category of software packages and information systems. The requirement supports the agency’s use of Adobe software rather than the delivery of physical goods or construction works. The contracting organisation is the UK Health Security Agency, based at 10 South Colonnade, London. Delivery is associated with the agency’s London location, postcode E14 4PU, in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is relevant to software publishers, authorised Adobe licensing partners, technology resellers and managed software procurement providers able to supply Adobe licences to a UK public sector organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated value range was £81,699.58 to £90,000, with the award made to Softcat Plc for £90,000. The award date was 19 August 2026. The contract runs from 22 August 2026 to 21 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The awarded requirement covers one software licensing service for the Adobe Licence Suite 26/27. The selected supplier is Softcat Plc. The published procurement data does not set out separate lots or detailed evaluation weightings for this call-off.

This award demonstrates established demand from the UK Health Security Agency for a substantial Adobe software licensing requirement delivered through a public sector framework. A supplier considering future requirements from this buyer would need to provide Adobe licensing reliably, manage the commercial and administrative requirements of a framework call-off, and support a sizeable public sector software estate. The incumbent is a large technology supplier, so competing businesses would need comparable operational capacity, strong licence-order management and the ability to work within framework purchasing arrangements. Adobe licensing specialists, authorised resellers and technology partners with public sector framework access are the most relevant businesses for this requirement when it next reaches the market.
