## Summary

The University of Edinburgh procured an Adobe Enterprise Licensing Agreement covering software licences and Adobe Sign transactions for faculty, staff, students and shared devices. The requirement comprises 1,595 Acrobat Studio licences for faculty and staff, 1,200 Creative Cloud All Apps Pro Plus licences for faculty and staff, 4,000 Creative Cloud All Apps Pro Plus student licences, 68 shared-device licences and 5,000 Adobe Sign transactions. This is a goods procurement for the University’s Edinburgh operations. The agreement was arranged as a call-off through the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework, so it concerns the supply and licensing of a substantial Adobe software estate rather than bespoke software development or general IT support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the Scottish Government Software Value Added Reseller Services framework. Computacenter was selected as the supplier, following one bid, and the contract was signed on 31 August 2026. The contract value is £1,500,000. The single lot covers a three-year contract running from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. Its initial purchase value is £432,779.03 per year, or £1,298,337.09 over three years; the value also includes contingency for additional licences during the contract period. There are no optional extensions. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates established demand at the University of Edinburgh for large-scale Adobe licensing across higher-education users, including staff, students and shared devices, alongside transaction-based e-signature services. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be authorised or otherwise capable Adobe enterprise resellers with the capacity to provision and manage thousands of education licences, distinguish faculty, staff and student entitlements, and support shared-device deployments. They would also need to handle Adobe Sign transaction volumes and administer a sizeable, multi-year software estate. Experience supplying universities or other complex organisations, understanding education licensing models, and access to a public-sector software reseller framework would strengthen credibility.
