Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council is procuring a Google Workspace Education Plus subscription as a managed digital workplace service. The requirement covers the council’s use of Google Workspace for education-related productivity, collaboration, communication and cloud-based working. It is a services procurement delivered for Stirling Council in Stirling. The buyer is a regional or local authority, so the opportunity is relevant to technology providers that supply or support Google Workspace Education Plus for public-sector and education environments. The requirement is presented as a single service package rather than separate workstreams, covering the subscription purchase described by the council. Businesses whose core offer is Google Workspace licensing, public-sector digital workplace provision or associated subscription support would be the closest fit.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Stirling Council used an open procedure, but the contracting description states that the purchase was a call-off without further competition through the NHS Digital Workspace Solutions 2 framework. XMA Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract is active and was signed on 13 August 2026. Its value is £171,985. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the recorded bid statistics show that it was not from an SME. The award date is not recorded separately. The procurement concerns a single Google Workspace Education Plus subscription requirement, with no options attached. The process therefore records a framework-based award rather than a contract competed through a new tender.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that Stirling Council buys Google Workspace Education Plus through a formal public-sector framework and can place a sizeable subscription order without running a further competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a direct, reliable Google Workspace licensing offer suited to education use, together with the ability to serve a council-scale customer and operate within framework call-off rules. Experience of public-sector procurement, clear subscription administration and dependable account support would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single electronic bid and the absence of an SME bid also indicate that suppliers should be able to navigate digital procurement processes and demonstrate sufficient organisational scale for this type of council-wide service.
