## Summary

Oxford Brookes University procured an Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise Term License Agreement (ETLA), covering software packages and information systems for use across the UK. The agreement is a UK-wide procurement arrangement negotiated by Jisc, the UK higher and further education technology agency, UCISA and Adobe. It provides Adobe enterprise licensing to support the university’s software requirements. The procurement was managed by Oxford Brookes University, based in Oxford, with supply through JISC Services Ltd, based in Bristol. The requirement is categorised as goods and concerns enterprise software licensing rather than software development, consultancy or general IT support. Businesses relevant to this requirement are software publishers, authorised enterprise licensing providers and organisations able to supply Adobe products through the applicable higher education purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Oxford Brookes University used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the Jisc framework and the stated protection of exclusive intellectual property rights. The procurement rationale says Adobe supplies directly through the Jisc framework and that the arrangement provides value for money. The contract was awarded to JISC Services Ltd on 14 August 2026 for £512,796.60. One bid was recorded. The stated evaluation basis was price. The agreement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published lot is marked cancelled, but the associated award and contract are active; the award outcome therefore identifies JISC Services Ltd as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates substantial higher education demand for Adobe Creative Cloud enterprise licensing and a purchasing route centred on an established education-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide Adobe licensing directly or hold the authority and commercial relationship required to supply it lawfully, including compliance with Adobe’s exclusive intellectual property rights. Experience supplying universities or other further and higher education bodies would be relevant, as would the ability to operate through a Jisc framework call-off and meet public procurement requirements. Suppliers would also need enterprise account management, licensing administration and the capacity to support a UK-wide agreement for a large institutional customer. The requirement is best suited to Adobe, its authorised channel partners and framework-qualified technology suppliers rather than generalist IT providers.
