## Summary

The Scottish Government is initiating a planned procurement process for a "Software and Software Support Framework" aimed at establishing a national collaborative arrangement for the wider Scottish public sector. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically relating to software and information systems, with a total estimated value of £90 million. Interested suppliers must submit their responses to the Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire by midday on 19 April 2022. Future communication regarding this procurement is expected to take place around 31 May 2022, primarily focused on the delivery across Scotland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies in the software and IT services sector, particularly those offering software support and related services. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and third sector organisations that are equipped to provide innovative software solutions are encouraged to participate and leverage the Supplier Development Programme for expert training and resources. Establishing a foothold in this collaborative framework could not only enhance service delivery within the public sector but also position these businesses for future growth and efficiency improvements within the Scottish Government's digital landscape.
