## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council procured PDF editing software as a software package and information system. The requirement is for the provision of PDF editing software, supplied through the KCS Framework Y23065. Delivery covers the council’s operational area across the West Midlands and neighbouring English regions, including the West Midlands, North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a council-wide technology procurement rather than a works or consultancy requirement, and is relevant to software publishers, authorised resellers, framework suppliers and businesses providing licensing or enterprise PDF editing solutions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited direct award without prior publication of a competition notice, using Regulation 33(8)(a) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the KCS Framework Y23065. The requirement was evaluated on price. The single lot was marked cancelled, although the award is active. Phoenix Software Services Limited was selected as supplier, following one bid. The award date was 27 August 2026. The associated contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and has an active status, with a value of £121,118 including the stated currency of GBP. No contract end date or duration is provided. The buyer is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for PDF editing software at council-wide scale, procured through a framework-based direct award route and assessed on price. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns should be able to offer dependable PDF editing products, public-sector licensing and procurement support, with the capacity to serve users across a large local authority footprint. Credibility will depend on framework access or an equivalent compliant route, clear and competitive pricing, straightforward deployment and licence management, and reliable support for business users. Software publishers, specialist resellers and technology partners with experience supplying councils would be best placed to develop a comparable proposition for Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council.
