Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland procured software-related services for a concessionary travel reimbursement system delivered as software as a service (SaaS). The requirement concerns the technology and associated services needed to support reimbursement administration for concessionary travel, rather than physical transport operations. The procurement was managed by Transport Scotland, the Scottish public body responsible for the requirement, with delivery across Scotland. The service falls within the public-sector software services category, under CPV 72260000. It was structured as a call-off from the Software Value Added Reseller framework, also known as the Collaborative Contract framework SP-21-034. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Computacenter (UK) Limited for the single lot. The contract value is £564,913.96. The contract was signed on 27 March 2026 and is recorded as active. The lot was a call-off from the SVARS framework and included three one-year options. One electronic bid was recorded, from a non-EU supplier; none came from an SME. The published outcome identifies Computacenter as the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, with the award made under the framework call-off arrangements. No separate award date is recorded in the procurement information.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Transport Scotland for a substantial SaaS-based software service supporting concessionary travel reimbursement across Scotland. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in delivering and supporting public-sector software services, particularly systems that manage operational reimbursement or payment-related processes in the transport environment. Experience as a software value-added reseller or framework supplier would be commercially relevant, since this purchase was made through a framework call-off rather than as an entirely standalone market exercise. Competitors would also need the organisational capacity to deliver a live service for a national public body and to support optional extensions over a multi-year arrangement.
