Summary of the contracting process

In the most recent procurement process, the Scottish Government is set to utilise its final twelve-month extension period for an existing National Framework for Software Value Added Reseller Services. The framework, managed under the tender code SP-21-034, focuses on software package and information systems, covering categories such as helpdesk and support services and software-related services. This extension, taking the framework's effective period up to 30 April 2027, aims to maintain uninterrupted service provision across Scotland. The procurement falls under the main category of goods, with the framework valued at £300 million. The process reached the contract update stage on 30 January 2026. The Scottish Government, acting as the main buying organisation from its Glasgow office, facilitates this nationwide framework intended for comprehensive use within the public sector.

The continuation and expansion of this framework present a wide array of business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale enterprises in the software reselling industry. Small and medium-sized enterprises might also benefit from subcontracting opportunities. Businesses that specialise in software solutions and related support services would find themselves well-positioned to compete for call-offs from the framework. The procurement method involves an open procedure, ensuring transparent and equitable participation, further fostering competitive business landscapes. Involving multiple stakeholders across the Scottish public and third sectors, the framework encourages robust engagement in software innovations and service delivery, fostering a thriving market for businesses offering cutting-edge technology solutions.

Details of the D&B \"A Guide to Dun & Bradstreet's Predictive Indicators\" - can be found using the http address below: https://www.dnb.co.uk/about-us/our-analytics/predictors-scores-ratings/scores-ratings.html There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Tenderers economic and financial standing. The Authority has the right to request copies of financial accounts and insurance certificates which are not held electronically. If the D&B Failure Risk Score is 50 or more you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the D&B Failure Risk Score is less than 50 or no D&B Risk Failure score is available the Authority will contact the Tenderer and seek further information. The Authority will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer's level of failure risk. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above and/or the level of failure risk after assessment of further information is considered to be too high, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee (providing parent has a failure risk score of 50 or more) or a performance bond. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e. it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment. SPD Statements 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2: It is a requirement that tenderers hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract the types of insurance indicated below: Public Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and; Professional Indemnity Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and; Employer's Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 5,000,000 GBP or in accordance with any legal obligation for the time being in force."
