This process falls under the "General public services" industry category and is located in Edinburgh, specifically at the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood. The procurement, identified by the tender ID ICT-SER-130, utilised a limited procurement method through the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £1.1 million, was signed on 13th June 2025, and the main procurement category was services.
