## Summary

Social Security Scotland has finalised the procurement process for the provision of Db2 Database Licences Subscription and Support, categorised under general public services. The process, which follows an open procedure method, was aimed at acquiring software services to enhance the capabilities of production, development, and test environments. This procurement, located in the UK, reached the award stage on 14 March 2025, culminating in the contract signing on the same date. Key aspects of the contract include a range of IBM Db2 licences and support services, with the option to extend the term for up to two years, potentially increasing the contract value.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the IT and software support industry, particularly those with expertise in database management systems and related consulting services. Companies similar to Computacenter, the awarded supplier, which have a substantial capacity for handling large-scale software deployments and ongoing support, would be well-suited to compete in similar procurements. Additionally, there is potential for subcontracting opportunities with notable names such as IBM United Kingdom Limited, providing avenues for specialised firms to engage in high-profile public sector projects.
