Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol procured renewal of the OneAdvanced Marketplace platform, covering eMarketplace, eInvoicing, eServices and eIntegrator. The software supports the University’s procurement, invoicing and service-ordering processes and maintains their integration with MyERP (Unit4), ensuring continuity of these business-critical services. This is an information systems and software requirement for delivery in the South West of England, associated with the University’s operations in Bristol. The buyer is the University of Bristol. The requirement concerns an existing platform and its connected services rather than a new standalone implementation, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide and support integrated procurement, invoicing and electronic service-ordering systems.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 31 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was £46,605. The contract was awarded to OneAdvanced Limited on 1 August 2026 for £139,815, with an active contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the University’s platform renewal requirement as a single procurement. The outcome reflects a three-year service term. The award value is higher than the tender estimate, so suppliers assessing the opportunity should distinguish the original estimated value from the value awarded.

This award demonstrates continuing demand from the University of Bristol for integrated procurement technology covering marketplace purchasing, electronic invoicing, service ordering and system integration. A credible future competitor would need a mature platform capable of supporting these functions together, with dependable integration to Unit4 MyERP and continuity for business-critical processes. Relevant capability includes software provision, configuration, integration management, support and service continuity for a university environment. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary technical capability, resilience and experience of supporting connected enterprise systems.
