Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract for the "Core Network project - DDI platform" under the industry category "Software configuration services" (CPV code: 72265000). This selective tender process, managed as a call-off from a framework agreement, sought to replace the university's existing DDI capability with a new dedicated platform. The procurement covered the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £388,450.78, commenced on 1st October 2024 and will run until 30th September 2029. The award notice was published on 1st November 2024, signifying the completion of the tender phase and the start of the contract period.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in software configuration services, particularly those with experience in delivering complex IT infrastructure projects for large institutions like universities. European Electronique, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the contract, indicating that substantial technical capability and prior experience were likely pivotal in the awarding decision. While the tender was not specifically targeted at SMEs or VCSEs, businesses of considerable scale and specialised expertise in network system configurations stand to benefit from similar future opportunities in the public sector.
