## Summary

Social Security Scotland bought licences providing access to and use of the Adobe Creative Cloud software suite. The requirement is a software licensing and authorised reseller service, rather than software development, implementation or general IT support. It was a call-off from the Scottish Government’s software value added reseller services framework, covering creative cloud licences. The buying organisation is Social Security Scotland, based in Dundee, and delivery is for Scotland. The procurement was treated as a services requirement and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The arrangement concerned one requirement for Creative Cloud licences, managed through the Scottish public sector procurement route.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure. Computacenter (UK) Ltd was selected for the Creative Cloud licensing requirement. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and is active. Its initial value is £6,483.40, excluding extensions. Two optional 12-month extensions are available. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME and came from outside the EU. The published outcome records that the supplier will subcontract the full contract, with subcontracting set at 100%. The award was made as a call-off under the Scottish Procurement software value added reseller services framework, reference SP-21-034.

This outcome indicates demand from Social Security Scotland for Adobe Creative Cloud access supplied through an established public-sector software reseller framework. Suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need to provide compliant Adobe licensing and account-management arrangements, understand public-sector framework call-off procedures, and support continuous access to the relevant Creative Cloud products. Credibility would also depend on the capacity to fulfil licensing orders accurately, manage subscriptions or user access, and meet public-sector administrative and contractual requirements. The result shows that competition may include large technology resellers and that subcontracting can form part of the delivery model, so firms with specialist Adobe licensing capability could consider framework participation or partnership with an eligible reseller.
