Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow procured Adobe software licences for use in Glasgow. The requirement was classified as goods and covered by the technology products and associated services framework, Lot 3. The procurement was a call-off from framework RM6098, serving the university’s need for Adobe licensing. The recorded delivery location is Glasgow. The opportunity concerns the supply of software licences rather than consultancy, software development or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The University of Glasgow awarded the contract to boxxe Limited; the contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and is valued at £430,000. The contract period is not stated. The call-off was made through framework RM6098, Lot 3, and the procurement is recorded as using an open procedure. One bid was received. The award was for a single lot, with no option for additional purchases recorded. The procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers tracking the university’s software licensing demand, this award shows a sizeable Adobe licence requirement delivered through a technology products and associated services framework. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to supply the relevant Adobe licences and qualify to participate through the applicable framework route. The single recorded bid indicates that the award proceeded with one offer, though it does not establish why other suppliers did not participate. The award went to a large supplier, so competitors should be able to demonstrate capacity to fulfil an institutional software licensing requirement at this scale. The procurement provides evidence of a specific buyer and product demand, rather than a wider opportunity for unrelated IT services.
