Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has completed a procurement process for "Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Software Licencing & Support," a contract awarded to Oracle Corporation UK Ltd. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Competition is absent as this software can only be procured from Oracle. As part of our Digital Transformation Strategy, COPFS is considering plans to strategically move to other solutions, however, this involves significant work and requires alignment with longer-term case management development planning and funding.

Options: The contract will be awarded for 1 year with the option to extend annually for a further 1 year. The requirement will be reviewed each year to ensure this is still the most appropriate route to market and in line with strategic digital plans.

Procurement Information

Oracle own the IPR and licensing rights in the software. The required licenses and support to run the software package can only be provided by Oracle for technical reasons. COPFS will during the term of the contract investigate alternative solutions to support the PROMIS case management application.
