Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Glasgow City Council for the provision of Adobe Licenses, falling under the goods category. The contract was awarded on 20th November 2021, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. This procedure was necessary as Adobe Licences are essential for various products utilised by the Council, primarily Adobe Acrobat Pro and Adobe Creative Cloud. The location for the delivery of these licenses is Glasgow, with the relevant procurement activity now classified as complete.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for large suppliers with expertise in software licensing, especially those specialising in Adobe products. Businesses that can provide comprehensive Adobe services or alternatives that match the functionality of Adobe products may find this an excellent opportunity for growth. As the procurement was awarded to Adobe Systems Europe, potential competitors should consider the requirements and specifications outlined to determine how they might offer similar or enhanced solutions to public sector organisations.
