Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the London Metropolitan University, which sought to acquire desk booking software for its staff. The procurement falls within the category of goods, specifically administration software, and spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, and UKI, among others. The procurement method was direct and undertaken below the threshold without competition, reflecting a swift and targeted process. Key dates include the contract signing on 20th May 2025, and the current status indicates that the procurement stage has progressed to completion with a contract period from 1st June 2025 to 31st May 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions tailored for educational institutions, as it facilitates growth in a niche market concerned with workplace efficiency and resource management. Although the procurement was awarded directly to EPTURA International Limited, indicating a preference for specific expertise, businesses with similar capabilities in providing administration software packages can benefit from monitoring such opportunities for future competitive openings. Innovators and SMEs in the tech industry, especially those with proven solutions in campus management software, could see potential for collaboration or development of complementary technologies to strengthen their position for upcoming tenders.
