Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the University of Salford focuses on purchasing a communications and marketing automation platform to enhance automated email communications and customer engagement tracking. The contract has been awarded to ClickDimensions, reflecting the procurement stage as 'Award' and marked complete. Classified under the 'Communications network' category, the goods contract begins on 22nd August 2025 and concludes on 24th August 2027. The procurement method was limited, specifically 'Below threshold - limited competition', and involved a gross contract value of 50,558.40 USD. This tender was specifically conducted within the UKD34 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the communications and marketing automation industry, especially those with capabilities in platform development and customer engagement technology. Although ClickDimensions was the successful bidder, the process involved limited competition, suggesting potential for smaller or specialised firms to participate in similar tenders. With the University of Salford expanding its technological infrastructure, suppliers providing innovative solutions in communications networks may find business growth prospects in future tendering opportunities. Businesses focusing on automated systems and tracking functionalities would be well-positioned to compete in such procurements.
