Summary of the contracting process

Education Scotland, acting on behalf of Scottish Ministers, has concluded the procurement process for the "Salesforce Backup and Recovery Services" contract. The contract, classified under the goods category with CPV code 48000000, was awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as permitted under the Scottish Government SVARS Framework. The procurement falls outside the scope of the usual directives. The contract was officially signed on 20th December 2025, and the award notice was issued on 28th January 2026. The services are to be delivered across the UK, specifically from Education Scotland's base in Livingston. The procurement was managed by Education Scotland, located at Denholm House, Almondvale Business Park, Livingston, with Computacenter UK being awarded as the supplier.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for large-scale IT service providers, particularly those with expertise in Salesforce solutions and backup systems, to engage with public bodies such as Education Scotland. Organisations that can integrate their services within existing frameworks like the Scottish Government SVARS are especially well-placed to compete for similar opportunities, as shown by the successful bid from Computacenter UK, which included a subcontract with Own Backup Inc. The project not only showcases the demand for robust data solutions in the public sector but also highlights the potential for subcontracting partnerships that can enhance service delivery standards.
