Scottish Government spend with various IT companies: FOI release

Information requested

How much does your office spend with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Computacentre and Softcat during CY2023 and CY2024 to date.

Response

We are able to provide some of the information you have requested. It is only possible to download data from the Scottish Procurement Information Hub (the Scottish Government’s spend analytical tool) according to our financial year, which runs from 1 April until 31 March. Therefore information has been included for the periods 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023 and 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024 rather than calendar years as requested. It is not currently possible to access information after 31 March 2024 on the Scottish Procurement Information Hub as information is only available after the financial year has closed. 

The information provided relates only to spend by the Scottish Government with HPE, Computacenter and Softcat and not the wider Scottish public sector.

Please see the information below:

	1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023	1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024
Computacenter (UK) Ltd	£2,301,271.62	£14,236,343.68
