Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract for Oracle Maintenance under the negotiated procedure without prior publication. This contract, valued at £246,264.77, is for the annual maintenance of existing Oracle licences, covering the period from 24th November 2024 to 23rd November 2025. The contract, classified under software maintenance and repair services, was awarded due to the lack of competitive options and is situated in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement process was completed, and the award was published on 6th November 2024.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses focused on IT services, particularly those offering software maintenance and repair. Although the primary contract was secured by Oracle Corporation UK Limited, the procurement highlights the necessity for potential resellers and SMEs to position themselves for future opportunities by developing competitive advantages in software maintenance services. SMEs and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) in the region could benefit from exploring similar future tenders and establishing partnerships or capabilities that meet the high standards and specific needs of public institutions like the University of Sheffield.
