Following the VEAT Notice published on 31 March 2021, this is the award notice for the disaggregation of Oracle Database Software Subscriptions from the Scottish Government Universal Licence

Agreement. COPFS previously purchased annual subscriptions through a collaborative Universal Licence Agreement between the Scottish

Government and Oracle. Scottish Government and Oracle have negotiated to disaggregate the subscriptions to individual organisations as

an exit from the agreement, which means COPFS needs to contract directly with Oracle at the prices agreed by Oracle and the Scottish

Government. Due to the unique position regarding the exit of the agreement competition is absent. COPFS has purchased 126 x Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, 6 x Partitioning, 126 x Tuning Pack and 126 x Diagnostic Pack for 12 months.
