Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia procured workload management software designed specifically for the higher education sector. The requirement is for cloud-based software to manage workload allocation, supplied as a software package and information system. Delivery is for the university at Norwich Research Park in Norwich, England. The procurement is categorised as goods and was called off through the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2 for cloud software. This is relevant to software vendors with a product for allocating, planning or managing staff workloads in universities and other higher education settings, particularly suppliers able to support a university operating from Norwich.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Simitive Limited. The award date was 3 July 2026, with an awarded value of £213,443.39 including the stated currency of GBP. The overall procurement value was £231,443.39. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. It used a selective procurement route as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract covers the same workload management software requirement for the University of East Anglia, with Simitive Limited named as the active supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from the University of East Anglia for specialist workload allocation software in a higher education environment, delivered through a cloud software framework. A competing supplier would need a mature cloud product that can support university workload management in practice, with sufficient implementation and support capability for a multi-year institutional contract. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so an SME with a credible higher education offering could be well placed when comparable work is next considered. Framework access is commercially important: suppliers seeking similar work should understand the relevant G-Cloud route, cloud software category and call-off process, as well as how their product meets university-specific workload management needs.
