Summary of the contracting process

Education Scotland, a central purchasing body, has completed the procurement process for providing Salesforce CRM Licences. Located in Livingston, the tender was part of the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework and falls under the education industry category. The procurement, which followed an open procedure, was classified as a goods procurement and had an award date of 21st July 2026. The process culminated in the awarding of the contract to Computacenter (UK) Ltd, based in Hatfield, for a total value of £151,632. The related contract is now active.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software licensing, especially those targeting public sector clients such as government educational bodies. Larger firms with extensive experience in CRM software provision would be particularly well-suited given the scale of the contract and the requirement for goods rather than services. Businesses that can provide robust, scalable CRM solutions to such public sector entities could find similar opportunities by focusing on open procedure tenders in the public sector.
