Summary of the contracting process

The University of Derby has completed a direct procurement process for the Lean Library Subscription, classified under the Library software package category (CPV code 48160000). This contract, valued at GBP 42,400, is for a 12-month period, beginning on 31 October 2024 and ending on 30 October 2025. The service will be delivered in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a single tender action due to the amount being below the threshold, and the procurement was finalised with an active award announced on 23 October 2024.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in educational software and services. Since the procurement favours direct awarding and single tender actions, businesses that have a strong track record and can offer unique solutions or specialised services within the library and educational software domain would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Additionally, this contract exemplifies how businesses can benefit from targeting niche sectors within academic institutions.
