UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University has completed the procurement process for "WMS Software & License" with the primary objective of purchasing software and licences for its existing simulation centre. Operating within the public authority sub-central government classification, the university facilitated this procurement under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis using a direct procurement method categorized as below threshold without competition. The main procurement category was goods, focused on industry-specific software packages. This contract was awarded to Wartsila Voyage Oy, a supplier based in Helsinki, Finland, with the contract signed on 20th August 2025 and effective from 1st September 2025, lasting until 1st September 2035. The total contract value is £106,900 GBP, to be delivered in the UK region UKJ32.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specializing in software development, particularly those offering industry-specific software solutions. Although the method employed was direct, indicating a straightforward procurement process without competition, similar future opportunities may arise where small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software and licensing solutions can leverage such contracts to expand their market presence. Companies equipped to deliver specialized software tailored to academic and simulation environments may benefit from engaging with educational institutions like Southampton Solent University to meet specific technological needs.
