UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dixons Academies Trust, a sub-central government public authority based in Bradford, United Kingdom, initiated a tender process titled "CA15579 - Dixons Academies Trust - Strategy Software" to procure IT software solutions. Crescent Purchasing Limited served as the procurement consultant for this process. The tender fell under the IT software category, with a total estimated gross value of £120,000. The competition was open, following a below-threshold open competition procurement method. The tendering process progressed to the award stage but was ultimately cancelled on 5th September 2025 due to a change in the scope of the requirements. Key deadlines included a submission end date of 30th April 2025 and an enquiry period ending on 23rd April 2025.

This procurement opportunity offered significant business potential for IT software developers, particularly those providing high-quality strategy software solutions tailor-made for educational authorities. The award criteria emphasised quality over price, offering 80% weight to quality, 15% to price, and 5% to social value, making it ideal for businesses with robust, high-quality offerings. Companies experienced in providing comprehensive software packages and able to support educational institutions' strategic planning would have been well-suited to participate in this tender. The option for a 12-month extension on a rolling basis presented potential long-term collaboration opportunities with Dixons Academies Trust.
