## Summary

National Highways Limited purchased an annual renewal of Adobe Creative Cloud Pro for teams under the VIPMP Government offer. The subscription covers all platforms and multiple European languages, for use by National Highways. This is a software supply requirement rather than a bespoke software development or implementation project. The procurement was recorded as IT software, with the buying organisation based in Birmingham. The requirement concerns renewing an existing software subscription, so its purpose is continued access to Creative Cloud Pro rather than establishing a new software service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Specialist Computer Centres PLC was selected and the contract was signed on 8 October 2026. The contract runs from 11 November 2026 to 11 November 2027. Its value is £10,931.83 excluding VAT and £13,118.20 including VAT. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The published procurement data identifies no evaluation criteria beyond the direct award route; this was not a competitive process in which suppliers’ bids were evaluated against one another.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a future renewal of this requirement, the relevant capability is supplying and renewing Adobe Creative Cloud Pro team subscriptions through the applicable government offer, covering multiple platforms and European languages. The awarded supplier was a large IT supplier, which indicates this purchase was handled by an established reseller, although the procurement does not state that large-company status was required. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate access to the relevant subscription products, reliable account and renewal administration, and the capacity to supply National Highways’ team licensing needs. The buyer’s use of a direct award without competition is also relevant: success on comparable work may depend on eligibility for the chosen purchasing route, not only on product capability.
