The requirement falls within software packages and information systems, with the main category being services. The buying organisation is Central Bedfordshire Council, based at Priory House, Chicksands, in Bedfordshire. The stated delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. This is a software renewal requirement rather than a works project or supply of physical equipment. It is relevant to software licensing providers, Adobe resellers, managed software suppliers and technology businesses supporting public-sector organisations with the continuation or administration of Adobe Pro licences. The procurement has been completed and the tender status is complete. It used a quotation process, with electronic quotations required through the In-tend tendering system. The submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 10:00. Central Bedfordshire Council awarded the contract to Softcat plc on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £0.00, as recorded in the award. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. The award is active. The published information identifies the requirement as a service for Adobe Pro renewal and records the outcome, but does not set out a separate weighted evaluation breakdown or multiple lots. This award indicates a defined software-renewal requirement within Central Bedfordshire Council and shows that the council used a quotation route and electronic tendering process for this type of purchase. Businesses assessing comparable future requirements should be able to supply or renew Adobe Pro licences and manage the associated public-sector purchasing process through the council’s electronic tendering arrangements. The successful supplier was Softcat plc, demonstrating that an established technology reseller or software procurement provider can satisfy the requirement. The opportunity is most relevant to businesses with direct Adobe licensing capability, dependable access to the required products, and the administrative capacity to submit complete quotations and supporting attachments in the required electronic format. ## Notice The Council will provide as much support and information as it can to help guide you through the quotation process. Questions asked together with the response, will be made available to all tenderers, to ensure a fair and consistent approach to all. If there is anything you are not sure about or need clarification on, please use the Correspondence facility within the In-tend electronic tendering system. Completed Quotations and attachments should be submitted electronically by the due date via our In-tend electronic tendering system. Quotations must be uploaded via the My Return section of the system. Quotations submitted through the correspondence facility will not be considered. Your Quotation must be submitted via the In-tend system by no later than Monday 3rd August 2026 by 10am Quotations received after that time will be excluded. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ce7dd8c-f186-4f59-a7ea-df40cfd8f20a | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 3 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 17 Aug 2026 - 16 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Central Bedfordshire Council | | Locality | BEDS | | Postcode area | Stevenage | | Postcode | SG17 5TQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH25 Central Bedfordshire | | Local authority | Central Bedfordshire | | Electoral ward | Shefford | | Westminster constituency | Hitchin | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Softcat Plc | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 17 Aug 2026 at 15:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ce7dd8c-f186-4f59-a7ea-df40cfd8f20a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ce7dd8c-f186-4f59-a7ea-df40cfd8f20a 17th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
