This contract, valued at £35,808.52, was directly awarded to the University of Edinburgh and spans from 20th May 2025 to 19th May 2029. The procurement method was a single tender action, deemed suitable for SMEs, but not aimed at VCSEs. The contract aims to support several Schools and programmes within the University, enhancing teaching and UK-based research projects. Located in Derby, this procurement process reflects a stage of award status, having been made active on 19th May 2025.

Companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions aimed at secondary and tertiary education platforms, especially those already used across the HE sector, will likely thrive given this opportunity. The initiative corroborates the intention to enhance learning experiences for foundation stage and undergraduate students, thereby opening doors for businesses capable of integrating and advancing educational software technologies.
