The University of East Anglia, located at Norwich Research Park in Norwich, England, initiated a public procurement process for workload management software tailored for the higher education sector. The procurement, conducted under the G-cloud 14 framework agreement (RM1557.14), specifically falls into the category of software package and information systems with a CPV code of 48000000. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process has reached the award stage as of 22 July 2026, with Simitive Limited awarded the contract valued at £213,443.39. The contract period is set from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, and the delivery address is specified in the NR4 7TJ postal code area.

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in cloud-based software solutions for the education sector.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) had a particular suitability for this tender, although voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not highlighted as targeted participants. Such procurements can provide companies with a steady revenue stream and the potential to establish long-term relationships with higher education institutions.
