Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University, functioning under Welsh devolved regulations, has completed a public procurement process for the renewal of Panopto software licencing. The procurement process, identified by contract ID SU175(25), was conducted without competition as it fell below the threshold. The process pertains to the delivery of software packages and information systems, with the goods being supplied by PANOPTO EMEA LIMITED. The contract was signed on 2nd July 2025, with the procurement stage classified as 'complete'. The software, valued at £84,480 net, commenced service on 4th July 2025 and will conclude on 3rd July 2026, with delivery scheduled for the UKL region in the United Kingdom.

This procurement represents a direct opportunity for businesses involved in software and information systems, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), to engage with academic institutions like Swansea University. Such contracts, despite being below the competition threshold, can offer substantial business growth potential by aligning with public authority needs in the education sector. Companies specialising in software licencing and digital solutions would find these opportunities beneficial for expanding their market presence within sub-central government entities. The process illustrates how strategic alliances in specialised categories can position a business to capitalise on repeat collaborations in the public sector.
