Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed the procurement process for an IT Asset Management (ITAM) tool through a restricted procedure under the Software package and information systems category (CPV code: 48000000). Located in Cardiff, UK, the university conducted a mini-competition under the SLRA platform, with the opportunity focusing on the responsible procurement and pricing criteria. The process reached the contract award stage with the contract signed on 28 March 2025. The winning supplier for the tender is CDW Limited, a large-scale business based in London, UK, with the contract valued at £265,676.77.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in IT asset management solutions and software products, particularly those capable of meeting high standards of responsible procurement and competitive pricing. The tender process favoured selective procurement methods, making it suitable for firms already recognised under specific frameworks or platforms such as the SLRA. Companies poised to provide innovative and efficient ITAM tools with a focus on responsible procurement practices are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities with Cardiff University and other educational institutions seeking to enhance their IT infrastructure.
