Summary of the contracting process

North East Scotland College bought managed services and licences for Infor SunSystems and Professional Advantage, covering software support, maintenance and continued use of these business and financial systems. The requirement was for software and related services, including the supply and management of financial-management software. Delivery covered Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire, supporting the college’s operations from its Aberdeen base. The procurement was for one defined requirement rather than a wider range of goods or services. It concerned an established software environment, so suppliers with relevant knowledge of Infor SunSystems, Professional Advantage and the associated support arrangements are the most directly relevant competitors for future requirements from this buyer.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using a single-source justification. Kick ICT was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded, from an SME and submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £31,125. The award was dated 31 July 2026. Evaluation was therefore based on the buyer’s justification for a single-source award rather than an open competitive assessment. The requirement fell outside the scope of the applicable procurement directive. This was a single-lot procurement for the managed service and licence requirement.

This award demonstrates continuing demand from North East Scotland College for specialist support of Infor SunSystems and Professional Advantage, rather than a general IT support requirement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in configuring, maintaining and licensing these systems, with the capacity to provide dependable managed service support across Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire. Experience of financial-management software environments would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to maintain continuity for an established college user. The award also shows that the requirement was fulfilled by an SME and through a single-source route, so suppliers seeking to compete in future would need a clear case for their product knowledge, service capability and ability to support the existing environment.
