Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol has procured OSCE and assessment software for its Veterinary, Medical and Dental Schools. The requirement is for software supporting objective structured clinical examinations and assessments across these three schools, delivered in Bristol, South West England. It is a software service rather than a supply of general-purpose computer equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fry-IT Limited trading as risr/. The award was made on 17 September 2026, at a value of £321,120. The contract period runs from 4 October 2026 to 3 October 2029. The requirement was procured as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a selective process. The stated planned arrangement was a three-year term with a one-year extension option. The estimated tender value was £80,280; this differs from the recorded award value. The tender response deadline was 3 October 2026. The published procurement information does not set out specific evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off approach.

This award demonstrates demand at the University of Bristol for specialist OSCE and assessment software serving veterinary, medical and dental education. A credible competitor would need a platform suited to structured clinical examinations and assessment workflows across multiple professional schools, with the capacity to support institutional use. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, indicating that this requirement was delivered by an SME. Suppliers with relevant education-sector software, experience supporting clinical assessment, and the ability to serve a university-wide requirement would be well placed when this specific need returns to market. The purchasing route used was a G-Cloud framework call-off, so familiarity with supplying through that framework is relevant.
