Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured annual support and maintenance for its SITS student record system, including Tribal’s annual support service and subscription charge. The requirement is for system management software support for a university student records platform, rather than a new software implementation or general IT service. The work relates to Bath Spa University’s operations in Bath, England, within the South West of the United Kingdom. The buyer is Bath Spa University, and the selected supplier is Tribal Education Limited. The procurement is categorised as goods and is relevant to software publishers, education technology providers and specialist support companies with practical capability in maintaining SITS or comparable student record systems for higher education institutions.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award, with the tender recorded as complete. The tender deadline was 31 July 2024 at 12:00 BST. The award was made to Tribal Education Limited on 1 August 2024 for £232,144.78 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The procurement was identified as a system management software package and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active. This was a single awarded requirement, covering the annual support and subscription for the SITS student record system, evaluated and placed through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates Bath Spa University’s demand for specialist, recurring support for its SITS student record system and its willingness to use a direct-award route for the relevant subscription and service. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in SITS support and maintenance, the ability to provide dependable annual software support, and the capacity to maintain a business-critical student records platform for a higher education customer. Relevant suppliers include SITS specialists, education technology companies and software support providers with experience of university systems, service continuity and structured annual support arrangements. Smaller businesses may be well placed to compete because the requirement was recorded as suitable for SMEs, provided they can evidence the required technical capability and delivery capacity.
