Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "AMS Monthly Charges 23/24" was conducted by Bath Spa University, located in Bath, England. It falls under the IT services industry category, specifically covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The process was a selective procurement method, involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The associated tender period ended on 30th June 2023, with a contract period extending from 1st July 2023 to 29th February 2024. The tender is currently at the award stage, with Softcat Ltd as the supplier, and the contract holds a value of GBP 32,931.36. The service delivery location specified is the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms in the IT services sector that can offer consulting and software development expertise. Large businesses, similar in scale to the awarded supplier Softcat Ltd, would be well-positioned to compete for such contracts, although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this specific opportunity less suitable due to the tender's specifications. As the procurement was managed through a framework agreement, being part of such frameworks could enhance firms' competitiveness in similar future tenders.
