Summary of the contracting process

The Southern Universities Procurement Consortium (SUPC) has initiated a procurement process for a "Software License Resellers Agreement (SLRA)," focusing on software licences and information systems within the UK. This approach aims to provide Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) sectors, along with other consortium members, access to competitively priced software and services. The procurement is in the tender stage, with selective and restricted procedures being employed. Potential candidates had until 24th March 2025 for the initial tender submission, with suitable suppliers being shortlisted for further consideration. The framework agreement is set for a 24-month period, with possible extensions for up to two additional 12-month periods.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those specialising in software resale, and IT consulting, as it involves substantial contracts, including Microsoft, Adobe, and VMware products worth up to £990 million. Businesses skilled in software provision, maintenance, and consultancy related to these major software brands, as well as those offering services in areas like cloud readiness and cyber security assessments, would find this tender particularly advantageous. Since the procurement method includes a framework agreement accommodating up to 62 participants, there is a notable prospect for businesses to establish long-term relationships with educational institutions across the UK.
