Summary of the contracting process

The University of Cumbria procured a timetabling package maintenance service for its Syllabus Plus Software Licence. This is a software-related goods requirement centred on maintaining an existing licence rather than delivering a broader technology programme. The buyer is the University of Cumbria, based in Cumbria, and the awarded requirement was for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement therefore concerns suppliers able to support an established university timetabling system and provide the associated licence maintenance. Its scope is specific to Syllabus Plus software and the University’s timetabling needs, rather than general-purpose software supply, education services or wider university IT support.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. The tender was marked complete and the contract was awarded to Scientia Limited for the single lot. The procedure was recorded as below threshold, with the detailed method described as unknown. The contract was signed on 8 July 2025 and covered 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026. Its gross value was £33,264.49, including £27,720.40 excluding tax. The contract was terminated as completed, with implementation ending on 31 July 2026. No award date or evaluation weighting is stated in the procurement information. The requirement was classified as an industry-specific software package.

This procurement is commercially relevant to software suppliers and support providers serving higher education, particularly those with direct experience of Syllabus Plus licence maintenance. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to maintain and support the specified timetabling platform, understand the operational needs of a university and provide dependable service for an established software installation. Experience supporting institutional timetabling, handling licence-related requirements and working with public-sector or higher-education customers would strengthen a supplier’s position. The small, focused scope suits a specialist software provider more closely than a general IT contractor without relevant platform capability. The buyer’s requirement also signals demand for ongoing support of this specific university software environment.
