Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has recently awarded a contract for "Software Renewal Licences" for the COGNOS financial system, which is crucial for its day-to-day operations. The procurement was completed using an open procedure and is classified under goods in the environmental protection industry. The contract value is approximately £58,041.96 and was signed on 27 March 2019, following the transition to Forestry Land Scotland, mandating a quick resolution to ensure operational continuity. The award process was expedited due to the tight deadline of 31 March 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those focused on financial systems and licensing. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in similar software renewal processes or those with experience in working with public sector clients would be especially well-suited to compete in future contracts. Engaging with the Forestry Commission could also open avenues for larger-scale contracts, considering their ongoing transitions and needs in the technological landscape.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Software Renewal Licences

Notice Description

We have awarded the renewal of our software licence for the COGNOS system to the incumbent supplier. this is based on Regulation 33 - Use of negiotated procedure without prior publication. Reg 33 4(b) Forestry Commission (FC) are transitioning to Forestry Land Scotland (FLS)and therefore all FC applications have been treated as a lift and shift to Scottish Goverment to meet the deadline of the 31/3/19. The COGNOS system is used as our main financial business budget processing system and therefore it is critical to the day to day operations. Due to the timescale in transitioning, there has been no time afforded to carry out a scope of requirements aligning to FLS and sourcing an alternative solution.
