Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Enterprise procured ERP continuous improvement and project management services to support its enterprise resource planning environment. The requirement covers information technology and software-related services, including software consultancy, maintenance and project management, rather than physical goods despite the procurement being categorised under goods. Delivery is associated with the Highlands and Islands area, with the buyer based at Inverness Campus in Inverness. The procurement was made under the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, so the requirement is particularly relevant to IT suppliers that combine ERP expertise with software reseller capability and can provide structured improvement and project management support to a regional economic development agency.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. It comprised one completed lot for ERP continuous improvement and project management services. Computacenter (UK) Ltd was selected as the supplier, with one bid recorded for the lot; the bid was electronic and came from outside the EU. The contract is active, was signed on 4 August 2026, and has an awarded contract value of £177,327.10. The procurement was evaluated through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework. No contract period is stated in the available outcome information. The award was made under the framework route rather than as an unrestricted standalone requirement, which is important for suppliers assessing the likely route to similar work from this buyer.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Highlands and Islands Enterprise for specialist ERP support delivered through a public-sector software reseller framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience of continuous improvement in enterprise resource planning systems, alongside the ability to manage projects, coordinate stakeholders and deliver practical software-related services. Framework access or an equivalent route into Scottish public-sector software resale work would be commercially important, as would the capacity to support a single, defined requirement for a regional public body. The sole recorded bid and selection of a large IT supplier indicate that established delivery capability, relevant ERP skills and dependable project governance are likely to matter.
