## Summary

The University of Keele procured renewal of its Adobe software licences, a software supply service (CPV 72268000). The requirement is described as the university’s Adobe licence needs and was placed as a call-off from the SUPC SLRA framework, under Lot 2B. Delivery is associated with Keele, Newcastle, England (ST5 5BG). This is a focused software-licensing requirement rather than a general software development or IT support contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Academia Limited. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £76,678. The contract period runs from 26 September 2026 to 25 September 2027. The requirement was competed as a selective framework call-off, with submissions due by 19 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated value before award was £76,678. The available procurement details identify the framework route and award outcome, but do not set out a separate evaluation formula or criteria.

This award shows continuing demand at the University of Keele for renewal and supply of Adobe licences through the SUPC SLRA framework, specifically its Lot 2B. A future competitor would need to provide the required Adobe licensing and handle renewals reliably for a university customer. The framework call-off route is central to this requirement: suppliers would need to be eligible to participate through the relevant framework rather than relying on a direct approach outside it. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller businesses can be appropriate for this type of work, while the successful supplier’s recorded scale was large. Credibility will depend on the ability to meet the university’s licence requirements and deliver the service over a defined annual contract term.»} Daniel? Wait final JSON string last has corrupted
