UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Luton Council is seeking a supplier to provide Adobe licences through the Adobe Value Incentive Plan (VIP) model for its Digital Data and Technology Service. The requirement covers flexible subscription licensing, centralised management and improved visibility of licence usage across the organisation. The objectives are to manage Luton Council’s Adobe estate transparently, obtain cost-effective volume-discounted licensing and maintain consistent pricing throughout the contract. This is an IT and software-support service, classified under CPV 72000000. Delivery is for Luton Council in Luton, United Kingdom. The opportunity is suitable for suppliers able to provide and administer Adobe licensing for an organisational customer, including the supporting service needed for centralised oversight and usage management.

The procurement reached tender: Luton Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 9:00am on 11 August 2026, and tenders by 9:15am the same day. Electronic submission was allowed through the ProContract service. The single lot has an estimated value of £33,500 excluding VAT, or £40,228 including VAT. The contract period is 12 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Offers are evaluated on price and quality, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. The tender documents set out the detailed quality requirements and selection criteria. The process uses the UK’s Procurement Act 2023 as its legal basis.

This opportunity suits Adobe licensing resellers, software procurement specialists and managed IT providers with the commercial access and operational capability to supply Adobe subscriptions under the VIP model. Strong candidates will be able to manage an organisation-wide Adobe estate, support flexible subscription licensing, provide centralised licence administration and give the customer clear visibility of licence usage. Experience of securing and administering volume-discounted software licensing, while maintaining consistent pricing across the contract term, is directly relevant. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is therefore accessible to smaller specialist providers as well as established technology suppliers, provided they can meet the tender’s quality and service requirements.
