UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is procuring education-sector software services: a 12-month renewal of Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams Education VIP access, covering all applications under the Level 4 Named plan. The service is mandatory for students and teachers. The requirement falls within IT services, including software development, internet and support services. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. The service supports the City of London’s education users, with the requirement focused on maintaining access to the Creative Cloud applications rather than delivering physical goods or construction works.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Pugh Computers Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026, with an award recorded as active, and has a gross value of £68,371.34. The contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 17 July 2027. The tender title describes a 12-month renewal for Creative Cloud for Teams Education VIP all-applications access, Level 4 Named. The procurement was treated as a single completed requirement, with no competitive evaluation or multiple supplier outcome recorded.

For competing IT and software resellers, this award demonstrates demand from the City of London for education licensing and continuity of access to a broad creative software suite. A credible future supplier would need to provide authorised Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams Education licensing, understand VIP arrangements and named-user plans, and support mandatory access for student and teaching users. Relevant capability would include handling renewals, maintaining user entitlements across the full applications package, and providing reliable software support through the buyer’s required service period. The selected supplier was a large IT provider, indicating that a competitor should be able to manage an organisation-wide education software requirement and meet the buyer’s procurement and account-management needs.
