Oracle Database Software Subscriptions

CROWN OFFICE AND PROCURATOR FISCAL SERVICE

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, located at 25 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, is currently in the Award stage of the procurement process for Oracle Database Software Subscriptions. This procurement has a total value of £153,820 and falls under the goods category, specifically related to social protection and public order and safety industries. The contract was signed on 29 March 2021, following a limited procurement method due to the unique circumstances surrounding the exit from an existing Universal Licence Agreement with Oracle, which restricts competition for technical reasons.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software subscriptions and database management, particularly those with expertise in Oracle products. Firms capable of providing Oracle Database Enterprise Editions and related services would be well-positioned to compete, given the direct procurement from Oracle necessitated by the disaggregation of subscriptions. Businesses should consider leveraging this opportunity to expand their offerings in the public sector, particularly in the context of social protection and safety solutions.

Notice Title

Oracle Database Software Subscriptions

Notice Description

This is a Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency (VEAT) Notice for the disaggregation of Oracle Database Software Subscriptions from Scottish Government Universal Licence Agreement.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a VEAT Notice for the disaggregation of Oracle Database Software Subscriptions from the Scottish Government Universal Licence Agreement. COPFS previously purchased annual subscriptions through a collaborative Universal Licence Agreement between the Scottish Government and Oracle. Scottish Government and Oracle have negotiated to disaggregate the subscriptions to individual organisations as an exit from the agreement, which means COPFS needs to contract directly with Oracle at the prices agreed by Oracle and the Scottish Government. Due to the unique position regarding the exit of the agreement competition is absent. COPFS intends to purchase 126 x Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, 6 x Partitioning, 126 x Tuning Pack and 126 x Diagnostic Pack for 12 months.

Procurement Information

Under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 33(b)(ii) and (iii) competition is absent for technical reasons and to protect exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. Oracle own the IPR in the software and have negotiated an exit plan with Scottish Ministers to disaggregate a Universal Licence Agreement.
