Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofgem procured renewal of its Adobe licensing arrangement to maintain continuity of service and uninterrupted access to Adobe tools used across the organisation. The requirement covers Adobe licence management, related computer services and support, and associated training, with flexibility to reflect changing business needs. This includes changes in user numbers, adding Adobe products, and amending or replacing products in the licence portfolio. The main category is computer-related services, including licence management software and support services. Ofgem is the buying organisation, based at 10 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf, London. Delivery covers the United Kingdom and a wide international footprint including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 1 January 2026. Ofgem awarded the contract to Stone Technologies Ltd Trading As Converge Technology Solutions on 10 August 2026. The award and contract value is £276,348.67. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2030. The award covers the organisation-wide Adobe licensing requirement and associated flexibility for user numbers, products and licence changes. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, with the successful supplier selected and the award recorded as active. The contract period is four years, providing a substantial term for licensing, support and related services across Ofgem’s organisation and its stated delivery locations.

This procurement indicates demand from Ofgem for suppliers able to manage Adobe licensing as an ongoing organisational service rather than simply provide a fixed software purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong knowledge of Adobe licensing and licence-portfolio administration, with the operational capacity to support changing user numbers and evolving product requirements. Relevant capability includes adding products, replacing or amending existing products, maintaining continuity of access and providing computer support and user training where required. Suppliers should be able to serve a large organisation across the United Kingdom and international locations, while adapting service delivery as business needs change. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist licensing, software-support or technology-services provider with appropriate Adobe expertise could be well placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
