Notice Description
Oracle Java SE software subscription 2025-2030
Lot Information
Lot 1
Oracle Java licensing is available exclusively from Oracle. Through Jisc's sector-wide agreement, the University has secured a five-year subscription with fixed annual pricing, subject to adjustment if FTE numbers increase. Continued use of Oracle Java requires payment of the annual charge
Procurement Information
The award to Jisc is justified under Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 as the University is purchasing Oracle Java through Jisc's nationally negotiated framework, which provides exclusive sector-specific licensing terms, significant cost savings, and long-term pricing stability that cannot be obtained independently. Jisc's agreement with Oracle includes substantial discounts, simplified licensing, and waivers for historic compliance risks, ensuring the University can maintain legally compliant access to essential Java updates and support.
