Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Greenwich has concluded an award process for extending its contract with Studiosity Pty Ltd for a software platform designed to provide feedback on coursework, aiding student success and addressing the awarding gap. This contract, categorized under educational software (CPV code 48190000), is valued at £0.7m for the 2-year extension period, with an overall contract value of £2,000,000. The extension will allow the University to benefit from platform enhancements up until 31 July 2027. Located in the South East of England, this procurement falls under the "goods" category and was undertaken through a negotiated procurement method without the publication of a contract notice due to technical specifications and bespoke developments. The review process highlights the software's tailored fit to the University’s needs and the probable difficulty in transitioning to an alternative platform.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational software with a focus on student feedback mechanisms. Companies that can offer equivalent platforms with enhanced functionalities may have an opportunity to propose their solutions. SMEs with innovative software packages tailored for educational purposes, capable of integrating within existing systems, and those offering competitive pricing, are particularly well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. Such contracts can facilitate long-term collaborations with educational institutions, ensuring recurring revenue streams and sustained business growth.

Procurement Information

We believe the contract extension is a permitted contract. The university has used the software platform over a number of years. The supplier has made bespoke developments to the platform to suit the university, which would permit movement to any off the shelf platform. The data embedded in the existing software platform may not be readily transferrable to an alternative platform.
