Summary of the contracting process

The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, located at 25 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, has recently completed a procurement process titled "AIX and Linux Support." This process was classified under the services industry category and followed an open procurement method with a direct award call-off from the Scottish Government Server and Infrastructure Maintenance Framework. The contract was signed on 21 May 2021, and the requirement specifically addresses the support and maintenance of the software platform for the COPFS National Database, primarily serving Edinburgh and Glasgow.

This tender presents an opportunity for IT services firms, particularly those specialising in software support and infrastructure maintenance, to expand their business. Given the nature of the work, businesses with proficiency in AIX hardware platforms and Linux support would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. The competitive landscape appears limited, as evidenced by only one valid bid submitted during this procurement, thereby indicating potential for new entrants to gain a foothold in the market.
