## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, a prominent educational institution in Glasgow, has successfully completed a procurement process for an IT services contract titled "Oracle Java SE software subscription 2025-2030". This procurement falls under the services category and specifically targets IT services, such as consulting, software development, Internet, and support. It was procured through a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, as the services could only be provided by a specific economic operator due to technical reasons. The contract, valued at £145,000, was awarded to Jisc, facilitated by a sector-wide agreement that ensures pricing stability and compliance with licensing terms exclusive to the sector. Notably, this process was completed on 5th February 2026, with the contract signed on 17th April 2025.

The tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software licensing and subscription services. While the process was exclusive in this case due to the specific circumstances, similar future opportunities may arise where technical expertise and established frameworks can position a business favourably. Companies capable of forming strategic partnerships and offering cost-effective, compliant solutions would be well-placed to explore such procurement opportunities in educational institutions or public entities requiring specific IT services.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Oracle Java licensing is available exclusively from Oracle. Through Jisc's sector-wide agreement, the University has secured a five-year subscription with fixed annual pricing, subject to adjustment if FTE numbers increase. Continued use of Oracle Java requires payment of the annual charge

### Procurement Information

The award to Jisc is justified under Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 as the University is purchasing Oracle Java through Jisc's nationally negotiated framework, which provides exclusive sector-specific licensing terms, significant cost savings, and long-term pricing stability that cannot be obtained independently. Jisc's agreement with Oracle includes substantial discounts, simplified licensing, and waivers for historic compliance risks, ensuring the University can maintain legally compliant access to essential Java updates and support.
