Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Trafford College procured management information system (MIS) services, categorised as software package suites, for the Trafford & Stockport College Group. The requirement concerns the provision of software supporting the group’s management information needs. The buying organisation is Trafford College, based on Manchester Road in Manchester. Delivery is associated with the college’s site at postcode WA14 5PQ and is stated to cover the United Kingdom, with the procurement record also describing delivery across Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a goods procurement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named supplier is Advanced Business Solutions.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award procedure. The tender value was £471,350.10, while the active award to Advanced Business Solutions was £471,350.09. The award date was 4 August 2026. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The evaluation basis recorded for this procurement is the direct award route rather than a competitive tender. One supplier is identified as receiving the award. The contract covers the full MIS services requirement for Trafford & Stockport College Group, rather than separately identified lots.

This award demonstrates established demand from a further-education college group for management information system services and software package suites. A supplier competing for similar work from Trafford College would need a credible MIS software offering, the ability to provide and support a system for a college-group environment, and the operational capacity to deliver across the stated service geography. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist software or MIS providers can be relevant where they can demonstrate an appropriate product and dependable delivery capability. The route used was a direct award, so businesses monitoring this buyer should understand the incumbent solution and the commercial route through which comparable requirements are sourced. Advanced Business Solutions is the selected supplier for this requirement.
