OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured BeyondTrust software and related services for use in Dundee. The requirement is for software licensing or provision together with associated software services, within the broader enterprise software category. The procurement was arranged as one package and serves the Council’s digital workplace needs. The buyer is Dundee City Council; the selected supplier, Softcat, is based in Glasgow. The award identifies BeyondTrust software services as the requirement, while the package description also covers BeyondTrust software. This is a technology supply and services opportunity for businesses able to provide the specified software and support its use by a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Softcat. Dundee City Council used a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, without a separate competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and is active. Its recorded value is £283,332. The procurement was a single package, with price as the stated award criterion. The process records one bid, submitted electronically; Softcat was the successful supplier. No contract duration or end date is recorded, so the contract period cannot be established from these details. The framework route allowed the Council to award directly under the framework’s terms, which it says it was entitled to use.

For suppliers competing when Dundee City Council next buys this requirement, the award indicates demand for BeyondTrust software together with related software services, rather than a general IT support contract. A credible competitor would need to supply the specified BeyondTrust product and deliver the associated services for a council digital workplace environment. The route used here was a direct award under an established public-sector framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to meet its terms are commercially important. The recorded evaluation basis was price, making competitive pricing central to the award. One bid was recorded, with no small-business bids, and the selected supplier was a large business. Suppliers should therefore be positioned to provide the required product and services at an appropriate public-sector scale.
