OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has engaged in the procurement process for the "National Framework for Software Value Added Reseller Services," focusing on enhancing software services within the goods category, specifically aimed at addressing needs in Scotland with delivery centred in the UKM region. This procurement process is in the "award update" and "contract update" stages, following the initiation as a tender. The framework agreement, first active from 1st May 2023, is set to leverage its final 12-month extension period, thus extending its validity until 30th April 2027. The procurement method highlights that the process is a modification to an existing agreement, intending to maximise the contract's benefits for the remainder of its period. The total contract value has been increased to ensure continued service until its expiration.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in software value-added reseller services to partner with a large-scale framework managed by the Scottish Government. Such frameworks provide substantial potential for business growth through a high-value contract, estimated at £300 million. Although the primary supplier is Computacenter (UK) Ltd, businesses of all scales, providing complementary software services or community benefits, might find auxiliary avenues for collaboration or subcontracting opportunities. Companies that can demonstrate innovation and value in software solutions, especially those aligned with the community and sustainable goals, would be particularly well-suited for future iterations or associated opportunities within this framework.
