Summary of the contracting process

Dundee and Angus College procured Adobe Creative Cloud software licensing for use at its Kingsway Campus in Dundee. The requirement covers Adobe software specific to an Enterprise Term Licence Agreement (ETLA), obtained through Lot 2A of the Software Licence Resellers Agreement (SLRA), under reference ITS4042 SU. This is a goods procurement for software licences rather than implementation, consultancy or wider IT services. The college is the buying organisation and also acts as a central purchasing body. The relevant classification is CPV 48000000, covering software packages and information systems. The requirement was for a single supplier to provide the licensing arrangement to support the college’s Adobe Creative Cloud use.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was described as a direct award through the Software Licence Resellers Agreement, Lot 2A, for Adobe ETLA-specific software, while the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. One electronic bid was recorded, with no SME bids and one bid from outside the EU. Jisc was awarded the single lot. The associated contract is active, valued at £120,000 in GBP, and was signed on 14 July 2026. The lot was awarded to one supplier and had no options. The available outcome information identifies Jisc as the selected supplier; the award record does not provide a separate award date or contract end date.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Adobe Creative Cloud licensing within a further-education organisation, delivered through a public-sector software reseller framework. Suppliers targeting a future requirement of this type would need credible access to Adobe’s ETLA-specific licensing, the ability to transact through the relevant reseller route, and experience supplying institutional or education customers. They would also need to manage a single-supplier software licensing award and provide licensing at college-wide scale, rather than isolated user purchases. The recorded competition attracted one electronic bid from a non-SME supplier, indicating that framework access, Adobe licensing capability and capacity to support a substantial education customer are important competitive considerations.
