Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured an annual subscription licence for Class Collaborate, a web-based conferencing tool used to support online conferencing. This is a software and information systems service, rather than a supply of physical equipment or construction work. The service is delivered for Bath Spa University in the South West of England. The requirement is for the conferencing platform subscription itself, with the procurement description identifying the annual fee and delivery through the SBS NHS Framework. Businesses providing hosted conferencing, collaboration or related software subscription services may find this type of requirement relevant, particularly where they can supply the named Class Collaborate licence or an authorised route to it.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TET limited on 10 July 2025. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically the SBS NHS Framework (SBS/19/AB/WAB/9411). The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2025 at 12:00. The stated contract value and awarded value were both £54,800.04, including the published currency of GBP. The tender contract period was 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026. The award record gives a separate award period of 11 July 2025 to 10 July 2026. The procurement was classified as a services requirement for software packages and information systems, and was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Bath Spa University, this award shows a requirement for a defined, recurring Class Collaborate conferencing subscription supplied through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software licence and maintain the service as a hosted web-based conferencing capability. Experience with framework purchasing, particularly the SBS NHS Framework route, would be commercially important, as would the ability to support an institutional customer using online collaboration tools. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led providers could be relevant where they have the required software access, framework position and service-delivery capacity.
