Software Value Added Re-seller Services Framework Pin-RFI

Scottish Government · Central government

In brief

Scottish Government has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £300,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 49 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £300,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Scottish Procurement intents to create a national collaborative framework arrangement for use by the wider Scottish public sector for the provision of software and software supporting services. (Full scope to be defined). The new framework if progressed will continue from the existing Software Value Added Re-seller Services Framework Agreement which is due to expire in April 2027. Details in the link below: https://www.gov.scot/publications/software-value-added-reseller-services-framework-sp-21-034/ In order to inform the commodity strategy. Scottish Procurement is seeking views from suppliers and stakeholders via an attached RFI and questionnaire, Link below and within RFI: https://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=R3T3DoMQ7E24nyfHZQdoQOT6E2RC9ulPi7nIj0dtbV5UMFZTNVBHSjE3V1BPWVg5UUFWU0hZREUxTC4u
