Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council procured a renewal of its password control software for use in Stirling. The requirement is classified as goods and concerns software supporting the Council’s control and management of passwords. It was arranged as a single requirement covering the Council’s password control tool, rather than a wider digital workplace implementation. Stirling Council acted as both the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The requirement was delivered in Stirling. The procurement sits within the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, indicating that the Council used an established route for sourcing digital workplace products. Businesses relevant to this requirement include suppliers of password management, privileged access, identity security and related software products able to support a local authority environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an open procedure through the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework (SBS10510), with one lot. Softcat Plc was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £83,688.12 including the stated currency of GBP. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was from a non-SME supplier based outside the EU. The award information identifies the requirement as the Password Control Tool Renewal. The published outcome records a completed procurement rather than an unawarded or cancelled process. Stirling Council was the buyer, and Stirling Sheriff Court was identified as the review body.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Stirling Council for specialist password control software sourced through a public-sector digital workplace framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would offer a mature password management or privileged-access product, with the technical ability to support secure administration, password control and access governance. Credibility would also depend on experience supplying public bodies and on being able to operate through the relevant framework route or an equivalent compliant purchasing arrangement. The single-bid outcome indicates a focused field for this requirement, while the successful supplier’s large scale suggests that bidders may need dependable account management, implementation support and ongoing software renewal capability alongside the product itself.
