Bournemouth University has recently completed a public procurement process for the renewal of Zoom One for Education licences, which are essential for the students and staff's communication needs. This contract falls under the services industry category and was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically below the threshold with limited competition. The contract, valued at GBP 64,999.51, was awarded to Bytes Software Services, a large-scale supplier. Based in Poole, United Kingdom, the university initiated this tender to fulfil its software-related requirements. The contract was signed on 17th July 2025 and became active on 30th July 2025, running until 29th July 2026. This award marks the completion of the procurement phase.
