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

Public Health Scotland procured Posit Connect licences, a software platform used with the core Posit application. The licences provide a robust, modern way for the organisation’s analysts and external partners to produce, access and share Public Health Scotland dashboards and other outputs. The requirement supports around 500 internal analysts and approximately 1,000 external partners, with the partner base expected to grow. Posit Connect is treated as a business-critical asset within the organisation. This is a technology goods requirement delivered for Public Health Scotland in Scotland. The scope is focused on licensing the Posit Connect product rather than general software development, dashboard creation or broader health consultancy. Suppliers with relevant software licensing or authorised reseller capability are therefore most closely aligned with the requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Public Health Scotland used an open procedure to call off one requirement from the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud 14 Framework, under the Government Procurement Agreement. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs, and all bids were submitted electronically. The contract was awarded to Jumping Rivers and is active. The contract was signed on 2 September 2026, with an awarded contract value of £245,282. The proposed award covers two financial years. The process relates to one lot covering Posit Connect licences. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring breakdown. The requirement is classified as software products and information systems, CPV 48000000.

This procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for enterprise software licensing that supports large analyst and partner communities, particularly where the software underpins business-critical dashboards and access to organisational outputs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need strong knowledge of Posit Connect and the wider Posit application, together with the ability to supply or support licensing through the relevant government cloud purchasing route. It would also need to show that it can support a substantial user base spanning internal staff and external partners, accommodate growth, and maintain a dependable platform for production and access to dashboards. Experience serving health or other public-sector organisations, clear technical support capability, and the capacity to operate through an approved framework route would strengthen its position.
