## Summary

The University of Strathclyde has concluded a public procurement process for an Oracle Java SE software subscription covering the period from 2025 to 2030. Positioned within the educational sector, this procurement was conducted under a limited award procedure, justified by the exclusivity of the supply framework negotiated by the supplier, Jisc. Located in Glasgow, the university secured this procurement through an agreement ensuring cost savings and stable pricing. The tender process, now completed, culminated in the signing of a contract on 17th April 2025, amounting to £145,000. The procurement was classified under the services category and adhered to specific technical rationale classifications, pointing to the lack of competition for technical reasons.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in supplying specialised software solutions within the education sector, particularly those capable of negotiating exclusive frameworks or offering significant discounts and pricing stability. Large-scale suppliers, like Jisc, with the ability to provide comprehensive solutions with simplified licensing terms and compliance risk waivers, would benefit greatly. This contract demonstrates the potential for businesses to engage with public institutions through tailored service offerings that address sector-specific needs, thereby enhancing their market reach and establishing long-term relationships with educational bodies.

### Procurement Information

The award to Jisc is justified under Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 as the University is purchasing Oracle Java through Jisc's nationally negotiated framework, which provides exclusive sector-specific licensing terms, significant cost savings, and long-term pricing stability that cannot be obtained independently. Jisc's agreement with Oracle includes substantial discounts, simplified licensing, and waivers for historic compliance risks, ensuring the University can maintain legally compliant access to essential Java updates and support.
