Summary of the contracting process

National Galleries of Scotland bought a call-off service for GP software support on Microsoft Azure. The requirement covers support for the organisation’s GP software and includes an estimated hosting charge. The buyer is the National Galleries of Scotland, and delivery is in Edinburgh. This is a software support service, classified under CPV 72261000. It was procured through the G-Cloud 14 digital marketplace framework, rather than as a standalone software purchase.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to M-Hance Limited. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is active. Its value is £95,310.64. The call-off is for 12 months, with an option described in the lot terms to extend for a further 12 months; the estimate covers the maximum possible duration and includes hosting fees. The stated procurement method was an open procedure, using the G-Cloud 14 framework. One bid was recorded for the requirement, from an SME. The process comprised one lot. No award date is recorded in the available award details.

This award demonstrates demand from National Galleries of Scotland for specialist support of GP software hosted on Microsoft Azure, with hosting costs included in the requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide ongoing application support alongside the ability to support its Azure hosting arrangements. Suppliers should be able to deliver a managed service over a sustained contract term, including continuity through any extension period. The successful supplier was an SME, and the recorded competition consisted of a single bid, suggesting that this particular call-off attracted a narrow field. The route used was the G-Cloud 14 framework, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to serve public-sector buyers through that framework.
