Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) in Edinburgh, United Kingdom, has completed a public procurement process for "Oracle Database Software Subscriptions" under the goods category, specifically classified as software packages and information systems. The procurement was initiated under a limited method following a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice published on 31 March 2021, for disaggregation from the Scottish Government Universal Licence Agreement. The award notice reflects a contract valued at £153,820, signed on 12 April 2021, encompassing annual subscriptions for various Oracle Database software products.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those that are established suppliers of software and information systems, to explore direct commercial relationships with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. As competition was absent due to the unique circumstances surrounding this procurement, businesses specialising in database software solutions, particularly those capable of meeting Oracle’s technical specifications, are well-suited to engage in future opportunities shaped by this contract. The direct relationship with Oracle could also encourage partnerships or reselling agreements, fostering further business expansion in the technology sector.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Following the VEAT Notice published on 31 March 2021, this is the award notice for the disaggregation of Oracle Database Software Subscriptions from the Scottish Government Universal Licence Agreement. COPFS previously purchased annual subscriptions through a collaborative Universal Licence Agreement between the Scottish Government and Oracle. Scottish Government and Oracle have negotiated to disaggregate the subscriptions to individual organisations as an exit from the agreement, which means COPFS needs to contract directly with Oracle at the prices agreed by Oracle and the Scottish Government. Due to the unique position regarding the exit of the agreement competition is absent. COPFS has purchased 126 x Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, 6 x Partitioning, 126 x Tuning Pack and 126 x Diagnostic Pack for 12 months.

Procurement Information

Under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 33(b)(ii) and (iii) competition is absent for technical reasons and to protect exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Oracle own the IPR in the software and have negotiated an exit plan with Scottish
