Summary of the contracting process

Education Scotland, acting for Scottish Ministers, procured Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) licences. This is a goods requirement covering the supply of software licences rather than CRM implementation, consultancy or wider IT services. The requirement was delivered for Education Scotland in Scotland. The purchase was made through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework, indicating that the buyer uses an established route for sourcing software products and licensing. The procurement is classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). Education Scotland is a public education body and also operates as a central purchasing body, so suppliers with public-sector software resale capability may find this buyer and route relevant for similar technology requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure, with one lot for Salesforce CRM licences purchased through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework. Computacenter (UK) Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract value is £151,632, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The recorded outcome is a single supplier award for the full lot, with the contract recorded as active. The award information identifies the requirement as a framework award for software value-added reseller services, rather than a standalone open-market software purchase.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Education Scotland for established Salesforce licensing sourced through a public-sector software value-added reseller framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the ability to supply genuine Salesforce CRM licences, manage public-sector software procurement and fulfilment, and operate through the relevant framework route or an equivalent approved arrangement. The selected supplier was a large organisation, while the recorded competition consisted of one electronic bid and no SME bids, suggesting that framework access, bid readiness and the capacity to handle a substantial single software order may be important. Experience supplying education or wider government customers, clear licensing expertise and reliable account and contract administration would strengthen a competing offer.
