BATH SPA UNIVERSITY has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the Panopto Recording and Captioning service, with a contract sent to Academia Ltd. This contract is valued at £72,000 and falls within the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems. The process followed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement.
