Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured BeyondTrust software and associated services, covering software supply, system support and software maintenance. The requirement was for a single package of software and services, delivered in Dundee. This is an information technology procurement rather than a general software or consultancy requirement: suppliers would need to provide the BeyondTrust product and the support and maintenance services that accompany it. The selected supplier was Softcat. The requirement forms part of the Council’s digital workplace technology purchasing, with the contract awarded through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat. Dundee City Council made a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, which permits awards without a separate competition; the recorded procurement method was limited. The framework was established under applicable procurement legislation and the Council was entitled to use it. The award was evaluated on price. One lot was listed, but its status is recorded as cancelled; the award and contract are separately recorded as active. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is valued at £283,332. The award date and contract period are not stated in the available process data.

For suppliers looking to compete for similar Dundee City Council requirements, this award shows demand for BeyondTrust software together with its supply, support and maintenance, rather than software licensing alone. A credible competitor would need the ability to provide the relevant product and sustain it through ongoing technical support and software maintenance. The Council used the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework and made a direct award under its terms, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to an appropriate purchasing route and to meet its framework requirements. Price was the stated evaluation basis, making competitive pricing central to the offer. One bid was recorded, with none from small or medium-sized enterprises; the selected supplier was a large business.
