PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde procured internal audit software, together with implementation, support and maintenance services. The solution is intended to integrate with the university’s existing systems and improve operational efficiency through better data management and system integration. The requirement is classified under CPV 48000000, covering software packages and information systems. Delivery is for the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The procurement was a single requirement under the Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, also known as the Scottish Government Value Added Reseller Services Framework. The buyer is a public university and central purchasing body. The contract includes the possibility of requesting additional products and services, including partial replacements or extensions to existing products and services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Computacenter. The lot was handled as a direct award call-off under the Scottish Government Value Added Reseller Services Framework, while the procurement method is recorded as an open procedure. Two electronic bids were received. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £140,147.71. The initial contract period is three years, with two optional one-year extensions. The award relates to the single internal audit software requirement. The authority may also request additional products and services, including partial replacements or extensions to existing products and services, at its discretion. The recorded award information identifies Computacenter as the successful supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a Scottish university for a complete internal audit software service rather than software supply alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide an audit management platform, implement it within an established university technology environment, and support ongoing use through maintenance and responsive service. The ability to integrate with existing systems and improve data management is central to the requirement, so suppliers should be able to evidence practical systems integration and operational efficiency gains. The opportunity also suits software value-added resellers or technology partners able to supply additional products, replace components and extend an existing solution. Experience delivering comparable public-sector software implementations and sustained support would strengthen a competing offer.
