## Summary

East Ayrshire Council procured Omnissa Horizon 8 licences together with production support. The requirement covers the software licensing and associated support needed for the council’s Horizon 8 environment. It is a goods procurement for delivery in East Ayrshire, with the council’s procurement team based in Kilmarnock. The requirement was a single package rather than a multi-lot opportunity. The procurement sits within the information and communications technology market, specifically digital technology solutions and virtual desktop infrastructure. Businesses relevant to this requirement include technology resellers, software licensing specialists, virtual desktop providers and suppliers able to provide ongoing production support for Omnissa Horizon 8. The council is the buying organisation and user of the procured licences and support.

The procurement has reached completion: the contract was awarded to Softcat Plc and is active. It was run by East Ayrshire Council as an open procedure and awarded against the Information Communications Technology (ICT) Digital Technology Solutions 2023 framework. There was one lot, covering Omnissa Horizon 8 licences including production support. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and the award value is £95,109.35. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The stated evaluation outcome is therefore the selection of Softcat Plc for the complete requirement. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No separate award date or contract end date is stated in the procurement outcome.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers targeting East Ayrshire Council’s end-user computing and virtual desktop requirements. A credible competitor would need authorised or demonstrable capability to supply Omnissa Horizon 8 licensing, manage the relevant commercial licensing arrangements and provide dependable production support. The requirement suits an established technology reseller or managed-support provider with the operational capacity to support a council environment, handle software entitlement and renewals, and respond to support needs throughout delivery. The single recorded bid came from a large supplier, indicating that scale and the ability to transact through the Information Communications Technology Digital Technology Solutions 2023 framework may be important. Firms without framework access would need a suitable route to market or a framework partner.
