Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured the renewal of AutoDesk software licences for use in its public services. The requirement covers software licences rather than software development, consultancy or hardware, and is classified under software package and information systems supply. Delivery is for the Council in Perth and Kinross, with the procurement linked to Perth. The purchase was arranged through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, allowing the Council to obtain the required AutoDesk licences from an approved reseller. This is a single requirement for the Council, rather than a broad multi-service technology contract. It is relevant to software resellers and licensing specialists able to supply and renew AutoDesk products to a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Perth & Kinross Council used a selective restricted procedure through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, reference SP-21-034. One electronic bid was recorded, and the contract was awarded to Computacenter UK. The award relates to the single AutoDesk licensing requirement. The contract value is £10,940 GBP. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The award information is dated 19 August 2026. The recorded outcome shows one bid, with no bids from SMEs and one bid from outside the European Union. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates established local-authority demand for managed AutoDesk licence renewal through an approved software-reseller route. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this type would need strong knowledge of AutoDesk licensing, access to the relevant manufacturer or reseller channels, and the ability to manage renewals accurately for a public-sector customer. Experience of supplying software under a Scottish Government framework, or of working within comparable public procurement arrangements, would be commercially important. The single recorded bid also shows that the buyer used a focused route rather than an open market exercise. Businesses should therefore assess their framework access, public-sector contract administration, licence compliance processes and capacity to support recurring council software renewals.
