Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering procured Adobe products under a single Enterprise Level Agreement. The requirement is for software packages and information systems, covering the council’s Adobe licensing needs through an arrangement available from the Crown Commercial Service framework. The contracting authority is London Borough of Havering, based in Romford. Delivery is identified as taking place in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement rather than a software development, consultancy or implementation project. The selected supplier is a large software services business, indicating that the buyer required an established provider able to supply and support Adobe products through the relevant enterprise licensing route. The requirement was handled as one lot and relates specifically to Adobe products rather than a wider technology estate or general IT services.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Bytes Software Services Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, through the Crown Commercial Service framework. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 March 2029, a period of two years and six months. Its estimated value is £69,461.05 excluding VAT, or £83,353.26 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and the contract is active. The procurement was therefore evaluated through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open tender, with the outcome being the appointment of Bytes Software Services Limited to provide the Adobe Enterprise Level Agreement and associated products for Havering.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows a council requirement for enterprise Adobe licensing supplied through a Crown Commercial Service framework. A credible competitor would need to be an established software reseller or licensing specialist with access to the relevant framework route, the ability to supply Adobe products under an Enterprise Level Agreement, and the commercial and operational capacity to manage a multi-year public-sector subscription. Experience serving local authorities or other public bodies would help demonstrate familiarity with public procurement, framework call-offs, licensing compliance, renewals and account management. The scale is a substantial council-wide software arrangement rather than a small, one-off purchase, so suppliers would need reliable fulfilment, clear licensing advice and the capacity to support the buyer throughout the agreement.
