Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics procured Adobe Acrobat enterprise licensing under an Enterprise Term Licence Agreement (ETLA), covering the first year of a three-year licensing arrangement. This is a goods procurement for computer supplies, serving the organisation’s software licensing requirements across the United Kingdom. The requirement is identified as Adobe Acrobat ETLA 2026 and relates to quote SQU5520303 v4 and internal request RITM1637659. The buying organisation is the Office for National Statistics, based in Newport, Wales. The arrangement is for enterprise-scale licensing rather than bespoke software development, hardware supply or general information technology support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CDW Limited. The award was made on 1 July 2026 for £125,437.88, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2029. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender submission deadline having been 22 May 2026 at 11:00. The recorded tender value is £125,437.88. The award is active and covers the same three-year contract period. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was goods.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for enterprise Adobe Acrobat licensing from the Office for National Statistics. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be authorised Adobe licensing partners or software resellers able to provide enterprise licence procurement, manage an ETLA arrangement and support a large organisational user base. Credibility would also depend on access to the relevant purchasing framework or another route that permits a compliant call-off, together with reliable account management, renewal control and continuity of licensing across multiple years. Smaller businesses were expressly considered suitable for the procurement, so an SME with strong Adobe licensing capability and the necessary framework position could compete alongside larger technology suppliers.
