## Summary

The Highland Council has awarded a contract for the ongoing use of a Common Data Environment (CDE), a crucial component in the delivery of the Highland Investment Plan and the Capital Programme, as well as projects financed by the Scottish Government's Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP). The procurement process followed an open procedure under the industry category of general public services, classified under CPV codes 48000000 and 48100000 for services. Located in the UKM6 region, specifically Inverness, the contract's value is £252,000, signed on the 7th of April, 2026. The buyer in this process, Highland Council, is a regional authority based in Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, with the process now in the award stage, tagged after a completed tender procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software services, particularly those with experience in data management systems. The awarded contract, part of a call-off from the Scottish Procurement Software Value Added Reseller framework, was secured by Computacenter (UK) Limited, a large-scale enterprise positioned in Hatfield. Larger organisations with similar capabilities, particularly those offering competitive and innovative CDE solutions, may find this landscape promising for future engagements. Involvement in frameworks such as the SVAR could position businesses favourably for upcoming tenders with Highland Council, which actively invests in public service projects.
