Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured annual support, maintenance and subscription services for its SITS student record system. The requirement covers the recurring service charge for Tribal’s SITS student records platform and associated system management software support. It is classified under CPV 48781000 and falls within the goods category, although the practical requirement is an ongoing software support and maintenance service. Delivery is for Bath Spa University in the South West of England. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based at Newton Park, Newton St Loe, Bath. The requirement is relevant to software vendors, student information system providers and specialist education technology businesses able to support SITS or comparable higher education record-management platforms.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bath Spa University used a direct award route, described as “Other - Direct Award”, and selected Tribal Education Limited. The award was made on 1 August 2023 and is recorded as active. The awarded value is £304,198.08 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024. The tender submission deadline was 30 July 2023 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier, Tribal Education Limited, received the award.

For a future requirement from Bath Spa University, credible suppliers would need demonstrable capability in supporting and maintaining student record systems used by higher education institutions. The selected supplier was Tribal Education Limited, a large education technology business, and its offer centred on annual SITS support and subscription services. Relevant competitors would therefore need practical expertise in SITS or a directly comparable student records platform, the capacity to provide dependable annual support, and the ability to maintain a live institutional system. Businesses that can combine specialist software knowledge with structured maintenance, subscription management and customer support for a university environment would be better placed to meet this buyer’s recurring requirement.
