Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council procured 74 Arcserve SAS software licences, covering both renewal of existing licences and additional licences. The requirement is for software products and associated services, rather than software development, hardware supply or general IT support. It was arranged as a direct award from the Procurement Services Software Products and Associated Services Framework, reference Y23065. The buying organisation is Moray Council, based in Elgin, and the requirement relates to council operations in the Moray area. The procurement is classified under IT services. Suppliers suited to this requirement would typically provide Arcserve SAS licensing, licence renewal and licence expansion services, with the ability to supply the required software entitlements through the relevant public-sector purchasing route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 10 August 2026. Its value is £2,578.52. The procurement record describes the route as a direct award from the Procurement Services Software Products and Associated Services Framework, while also recording an open procedure. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was from a non-SME and from outside the EU. The requirement was handled as a single lot covering the renewal and additional Arcserve SAS licences. The award was made against that lot, with Insight Direct selected as the supplier. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Moray Council’s demand for specialist data-protection software licensing. A credible future competitor would need to supply Arcserve SAS licences, support renewals and provide additional licence quantities without disrupting the council’s existing software arrangements. Access to, or eligibility for, the relevant Software Products and Associated Services Framework would be important because this purchase was made through that route. Suppliers should be able to manage public-sector software orders, identify the correct licensing entitlement, and fulfil a relatively small, defined requirement efficiently. The successful supplier was a large business and won after a single electronic bid, indicating that framework access and dependable licensing fulfilment were central to competing for this type of requirement.
