## Summary

The Scottish Government has awarded a contract for the Provision of More4Apps Service to More4apps Uk Ltd. The procurement method was a limited award procedure without prior publication. The contract is active with a value of £11,780 and was signed on 15th November 2023. This opportunity falls under the services category and presents a low-value, low-risk chance for business growth.

This tender by the Scottish Government focuses on licensing and supporting More4Apps software products, catering to data upload needs into Oracle databases. Businesses providing software licenses and support services would be well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement process has been completed, and the successful bidder, More4apps Uk Ltd, is the only supplier qualified for this specific software-related service.

## Notice

Scottish Ministers require to put in place suitable arrangements for the licensing and support of the More4Apps software products currently in use. More4apps is a software utility that is developed, supplied, and supported by More4apps UK Limited. It facilitates the bulk upload of data from non-native sources such as spreadsheets into Oracle databases; as such is designed to serve as an ancillary application to the more comprehensive financial software incorporated in Oracle e-Business Suite, which underpins Scottish Government's SEAS finance and accounting system.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

More4Apps software has been used by Financial Services Division (recently relaunched as Financial Operations Division) for many years. It is a simple robust product that is used specifically to facilitate the bulk upload of data from Excel spreadsheets into the SEAS Oracle database. Recently Financial Services Division has needed to use this utility less and less, and so it appeared that we would not need to renew support when it expires on 16 November 2023. We anticipated that when we move to Oracle Cloud (scheduled for April 2024) there would be no need to use More4Apps at all.

### Procurement Information

More4Apps software has been used by Financial Services Division (recently relaunched as Financial Operations Division) for many years. It is a simple robust product that is used specifically to facilitate the bulk upload of data from Excel spreadsheets into the SEAS Oracle database. Recently Financial Services Division has needed to use this utility less and less, and so it appeared that we would not need to renew support when it expires on 16 November 2023. We anticipated that when we move to Oracle Coud (scheduled for April 2024) there would be no need to use More4Apps at all. However colleagues at Scottish Parliament (who use SEAS and More4Apps) have indicated as they still rely upon it significantly as part of the SEAS service. This is a comparatively low-value contract and it is also low risk. More4Apps Limited are the only possible supplier who can provide licences and support for More4Apps software. Under Regulation 6 (1)(b)(ii) of the Procurement (Scotland) Regulations 2016, an Non-Competitive Action was awarded to More4Apps.
