UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited, a public authority operating under the UK central government, recently completed a procurement process titled "ITEP1181 - Adobe Renewal 26-27" aimed at renewing Adobe Creative Cloud licenses for the continued support of its Creative Services and Learning & Development Design Team. The contract, awarded on 4th June 2026 and set to run from 10th June 2026 to 10th June 2027, was procured through a direct method without competition, primarily due to its status being below threshold. The procurement falls under the industry category of IT software packages and was geared towards maintaining uninterrupted service delivery to internal stakeholders and external customers from its Birmingham headquarters.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses in the IT and software sectors, especially those capable of handling comprehensive software renewals and support. The award was given to Phoenix Software Ltd, a large enterprise located in Pocklington, York, demonstrating that larger firms with established resources and expertise in software package provision are well-suited to compete in similar procurement tenders. Businesses focusing on services tailored to continuous software licence management and support can find similar opportunities to expand their client base and service offerings within public sector procurement avenues.
