## Summary

Bath Spa University procured a software package covering Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Document Cloud and associated software, described as an Adobe Creative Campus software suite renewal. The requirement is for goods rather than consultancy, construction or other services, under the broad category of software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). Delivery is for Bath Spa University in the South West of England. The procurement relates to the university’s campus-wide software environment, so relevant businesses are those able to provide Adobe’s Creative Cloud and Document Cloud products as a coordinated institutional software supply and renewal arrangement. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based at Newton Park in Bath. The recorded requirement is not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 6 June 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 28 July 2025 to Academia Limited for £1,323,754.89 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 24 August 2025 to 23 August 2028. The award is active. The published information records the procurement as a single software requirement, without separate lots or distinct supplier awards. The route was therefore a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The outcome shows that Bath Spa University selected Academia Limited for the full recorded requirement, with the award value matching the procurement value.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates substantial institutional demand from Bath Spa University for a coordinated Adobe Creative Cloud and Document Cloud software renewal. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to supply the specified Adobe software suite to a university-scale customer, manage a high-value campus-wide arrangement and operate through the relevant framework call-off route. The selected supplier, Academia Limited, is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that scale and the ability to support an institution-wide software requirement are commercially relevant characteristics. Businesses with established Adobe software supply capability, experience serving education customers and the capacity to manage renewals across a university environment would be the closest fit when this buyer next considers the same requirement.
