Summary of the contracting process

Social Security Scotland procured a software licence for an enterprise architecture platform. The requirement covers access to an enterprise architecture tool rather than software development, implementation works or general IT support. The service falls within IT software licensing, classified under CPV 72268000. Social Security Scotland is the public sector buyer. The awarded supplier is Computacenter, a large technology services business, with Orbus Software identified as the software provider and subcontractor. The procurement was for one requirement under a single lot. It demonstrates a need for an enterprise architecture platform to support the organisation’s technology planning, design and governance activities.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure through the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework, reference SP-21-034. Computacenter was awarded the contract for the enterprise architecture platform, with Orbus Software providing the software. The contract value is £92,971.17. It was signed on 12 August 2026 and is active. One electronic bid was received, and the award relates to the single lot covering the software licence. The published outcome records subcontracting for the full requirement. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No award date or contract end date is stated in the procurement data.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide an enterprise architecture platform through a compliant public sector procurement route, with clear authority to license and support the relevant software. The outcome indicates that a reseller-led model can be used, with the technology manufacturer delivering the underlying product as a subcontractor. Competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate strong relationships with specialist enterprise architecture software publishers, dependable licence fulfilment and the capability to manage public sector contracts. Experience supporting technology planning, architecture governance and related software users would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single electronic bid and large-supplier award also indicate that framework access, bid readiness and delivery assurance may matter.
