Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England (UWE) has successfully concluded a procurement process for a "License for Test Management System" aimed at acquiring qTest Elite Concurrent with a license volume of 25, under a three-year contract valued at £27,174.69. The procurement method employed was a direct approach through a single tender action, as the contract was below the threshold limits. The contract period runs from 13th April 2018 to 14th April 2018, with the award having been communicated on 12th April 2018 and officially published on 14th August 2018. The delivery will take place in Bristol, England, under the goods category for software packages classified as program testing software.

Companies looking to expand their operations in the software services sector or those with innovative testing solutions could find a fertile ground in this procurement landscape.
