Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wolverhampton Enterprise Limited procured Culture Shift’s Report + Support platform, a software service for centralising Support to Study referrals, safeguarding case management and anonymous reporting by students and staff. Delivery is for the University in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. The platform brings these reporting and case-management functions into one system, serving both students and staff.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Cultureshift Communications Ltd. The award date was 1 February 2026, and the contract runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 January 2029, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. The awarded value is £170,000. The University used a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, through a selective process. The requirement was evaluated through that framework call-off; the published details do not set out separate evaluation criteria. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The submission deadline was 31 January 2026.

This award shows demand from the University of Wolverhampton for a unified platform covering student support referrals, safeguarding case management and anonymous reporting for both students and staff. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate a platform that brings these functions together and can support confidential reporting as well as managed case workflows. Suppliers should be able to evidence delivery of software services to a university environment and fit with a framework call-off route such as G-Cloud. The selected supplier was a small business, indicating that the requirement was delivered by an SME; the procurement was not marked as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The opportunity is relevant to software providers specialising in safeguarding, student support and reporting systems.
