Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford has successfully completed a procurement process for the renewal of the SPSS statistical analysis software. The tender focused on securing a new five-year agreement following the expiration of a previous four-year contract on 31 May 2025. The procurement process employed an open method, detailed as below threshold open competition, and was categorised under goods within the software package and information systems industry. The contract, awarded on 21 May 2025, involves a gross amount of £54,650. Version 1 Solutions Limited, based in Redditch, has been selected as the supplier. The new agreement is set to commence on 1 June 2025, servicing the UKD3 region in the United Kingdom.

This procurement endeavour presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the software industry, particularly those with expertise in statistical analysis tools. Organisations such as software providers with capabilities to offer similar products can anticipate growth opportunities by entering competitive tenders like this, potentially diversifying their client base and strengthening their market presence. Despite the tender being closed, understanding the demand for long-term, fixed-cost software agreements could help companies tailor their offerings to meet future procurement cycles at institutions similar to the University of Salford.
