Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured an extension to its parcel-tracking system for accommodation services. The requirement is for a software service, classified as administration software, supporting parcel tracking in the university’s accommodation operations. Delivery is in the South West of England. The procurement description identifies a one-year extension to the supply, although the recorded contract dates cover a shorter period. This is a focused requirement for maintaining a parcel-tracking system rather than a broad accommodation or general IT-services contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Deepfinity Limited, an SME. The award date was 7 August 2026, and the recorded award value is £25,233.38. The contract period is recorded as 8–9 August 2026. The tender response deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The stated procurement route is “Other – BVS”. The process is recorded as one service requirement, with no lot breakdown, and the stated evaluation basis is not detailed in the procurement information. The tender’s estimated value matches the award value. The contract description refers to a one-year extension, but this differs from the dates recorded for the contract period.

This award demonstrates that the University of the West of England buys parcel-tracking software to support its accommodation services, and that it has used an extension to continue the supply. Suppliers serving this requirement would need a parcel-tracking system suited to accommodation operations and the ability to provide ongoing software support or supply. The award went to an SME, indicating that a small supplier has delivered the requirement; businesses with relevant parcel-management software and experience supporting institutional accommodation services are therefore aligned with the demonstrated demand. The recorded spend indicates a modest, specialist software requirement rather than a large transformation programme. A competitor should be prepared to explain how its system supports parcel handling for accommodation users and how continued service can be maintained under the buyer’s stated procurement route.
