## Summary

The Scottish Government, acting on behalf of the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry, has awarded a contract to Computacenter (UK) Ltd for providing NVivo qualitative analysis software. This contract falls under the category of general public services within the UK, specifically in the UKM region. The procurement followed an open procedure and the contracting process has progressed to the award stage as of 27th June 2025. The contract, identified as CASE/789127, is part of the Software Value Added Reseller (SVAR) Services framework and is valued at GBP 36,158. It covers a two-year period from 7th June 2025 to 6th June 2027 with an option to extend to 6th June 2028. Key contract activities include software licences and cloud subscriptions.

This procurement provides significant opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in software distribution and IT services. While the contract was awarded to a large enterprise, the open procurement method implies a competitive environment that can benefit enterprises of all sizes in future tenders. Companies leveraging technology for data analysis, particularly in public service sectors, stand to gain from such government contracts, which offer stability and the potential for extended engagements. Moreover, firms specialising in cloud solutions and collaborative software tools may find similar opportunities highly relevant for their growth strategies, especially given the increasing reliance on remote work and data analysis tools.
