## Summary

National Records of Scotland (NRS) bought analytical and data science software licences for use across the organisation. The requirement covers software subscriptions, product updates and vendor support for business-critical statistical and analytical workloads. The licences support statistical computing, data analysis, visualisation and reporting, as well as developing, running and managing data science, modelling and reproducible analytical workflows. The procurement is for software products and related support, rather than bespoke analytical services. The software is intended for NRS’s organisational requirements in Scotland.

The procurement is complete: NRS selected Computacenter (UK) Limited and signed an active contract. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, with a value of £35,817.93. NRS described the award as a direct call-off from the Software Value Added Reseller Services Framework. No further competition or evaluation took place at call-off stage; price and quality criteria were assessed when the framework was procured. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The contract record does not state a contract end date or duration.

This award shows demand at NRS for ongoing analytical and data science software subscriptions, including updates and vendor support. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement at the end of the contract period would need to provide software suitable for statistical computing, data analysis, visualisation, reporting, modelling and reproducible analytical workflows across an organisation. They would also need the capability to support business-critical analytical workloads through reliable product updates and vendor support. The buyer used a software reseller framework for this purchase, so credible suppliers would need to be able to supply through the relevant framework route. The call-off itself involved no further competition; the price and quality basis was established at framework stage.
