Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Glasgow City Council, which is seeking to obtain Adobe Licenses as part of their software package and information systems needs. This tender is classified under goods and is associated with the software industry, specifically for the provision of essential software for managing PDF documents and graphic design services. The tender process was conducted using a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating that the council directly approached suppliers due to the specific requirement for Adobe products. The contract, valued at £495,771, was signed on 20th November 2021, and the location relevant to this procurement is Glasgow, specifically in the UKM82 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing and digital solutions, particularly for firms that provide Adobe products or complementary software services. Companies that have experience in delivering licensed software under similar frameworks or those looking to expand their offerings in the graphic design and digital document management sectors would be well-positioned to compete. Given that Adobe is the sole provider of the required functionality, suppliers with proven capabilities in delivering cost-effective and comprehensive software solutions will likely find favour in this contracting process.
