## Summary

New College Lanarkshire procured remote desktop access software, classified under CPV 48514000, for use across all of its campuses. The requirement was for a secure remote access and support tool allowing staff and students to connect to college computers and devices from anywhere. Intended uses included remote working from home and remote access to specialist applications such as AutoCAD and Adobe Creative Cloud. The software also needed to support high-performance screen streaming, file transfer and secure connections. The buyer is New College Lanarkshire, an education body based at its Motherwell campus, and the requirement covers its college-wide estate rather than a single site or department.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Academia Ltd was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £118,850. The stated contract duration is 36 months, or three years. The tender records an open procedure, while the procurement description says the award was made directly through the ITS4052 SU framework, Lot 4, under software licence reseller and consultancy services arrangements. One electronic bid was recorded, and the award was made against the framework. The published outcome therefore points to a completed framework-based software procurement rather than an unawarded competition.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows a college-wide requirement for remote desktop and support software serving both staff and students, including access to demanding technical and creative applications. Credible competitors would need to provide secure connections, reliable remote control, high-quality screen streaming and dependable file transfer, with performance suitable for applications such as AutoCAD and Adobe products. The requirement also favours suppliers able to support remote working across multiple campuses and to operate through the relevant public-sector software licensing framework route. Academia Ltd, recorded as a large supplier, demonstrates that the buyer accepted an established reseller or technology provider capable of supplying and supporting a sizeable institutional deployment.
