This is a software licensing requirement rather than a software development or implementation project. The requirement covers the Council’s existing entitlement; product details, quantities and pricing were set out in the procurement materials. The buying organisation is Clackmannanshire Council, based in Alloa, and the licence supports the Council’s own use of HCL Notes and Domino. The procurement was handled through a software lot on a public-sector framework. The supplier pricing requirement involved obtaining HCL manufacturer or special pricing through the HCL account manager identified for the requirement, while procurement clarification questions were directed through the Council’s procurement route. The procurement has been awarded to Bechtle Ltd., and the contract is recorded as active. Four bids were received. The estimated contract requirement began on 1 October 2026 and runs for an initial 24 months, to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, to 30 September 2029. The award value is £257,170.04. The contract was signed on 10 January 2026; no separate award date is recorded. The requirement was procured through the RM6098 software framework, Lot 3. The available details describe the requirement and framework route but do not set out evaluation weightings or eligibility thresholds, so the basis for selecting Bechtle cannot be characterised further from the published information. This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for continued HCL Notes and Domino licensing at a substantial scale. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would be authorised and able to supply the relevant HCL licences, secure applicable manufacturer or special pricing, and price an existing entitlement accurately against the Council’s product and quantity requirements. Experience supplying software through public-sector framework arrangements, particularly the relevant software lot, would support a credible offer. The requirement also calls for a supplier able to manage a multi-year licensing term and accommodate an extension option. A competitor would need a reliable route to HCL account-level pricing and the operational capacity to support the Council’s licence renewal across the full term. ## Notice Clackmannanshire Council requires renewal of its existing HCL Notes / Domino software licence entitlement under RM6098 Lot 3 - Software.
