Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University, located in Southampton, UK, recently completed a procurement process that has been awarded under a limited method for transparency purposes. The contract, titled "UML Wind Propulsion Training," involves the development of two tanker models within the Sim Suite software, classified under industry-specific software packages. Despite being a one-off creation, this contract aims to enhance the university's bespoke training offerings. The award was issued to Wartsila Voyage Oy on 22 January 2025, with a contract value of £95,000. The process was justified as a below-threshold contract falling outside the scope of the directive, thus, not requiring prior publication. The procurement stage is complete, indicating the successful awarding of the contract.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing highly specialised goods and services, particularly those in the software development and educational technology sectors. Companies like Wartsila Voyage Oy, characterised as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), may find similar opportunities lucrative for growth, especially when offering unique, industry-specific solutions. Such projects not only enable businesses to showcase innovation but also to expand their portfolios by aligning with educational institutions aiming to develop cutting-edge training programs. The location in Southampton and the association with public bodies underscore the potential for future collaborations within the education sector and similar public procurement processes.
