Summary of the contracting process

City of Glasgow College bought Adobe software licences for use by the college. The requirement covered provision of Adobe licences specific to an Enterprise Term Licence Agreement (ETLA), through Lot 2A of the Software Licence Resellers Agreement. The procurement was for goods, with delivery to City of Glasgow College, 190 Cathedral Street, Glasgow, G4 0RF. The college acted as the buying organisation and as a central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, titled Provision of Adobe Licenses for City of Glasgow College. This is a software licensing supply opportunity rather than software development, consultancy, implementation or general information technology services. The classification used is CPV 48000000, covering software and information systems.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an open procedure and was described as a direct award through the Software Licence Resellers Agreement, Lot 2A, for Adobe software specific to ETLA. One bid was received and it was submitted electronically; the published bid statistics record no SME bid and one foreign bid from outside the EU. Jisc was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract value is £155,275. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No award scoring or separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates an established public-sector requirement for Adobe licensing within a further-education environment, with the buyer using a reseller framework and a licence arrangement specific to ETLA. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply Adobe software licences accurately against the required enterprise agreement, understand the terms and operation of the Software Licence Resellers Agreement, and be able to fulfil a college-wide public-sector order through that route. The result also shows that the buyer selected a large supplier rather than an SME on this occasion and received a single bid, suggesting that framework access, licensing specialism and the capacity to manage the requirement were central commercial considerations.
