Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford has recently completed an open procurement process for the renewal of Nutanix software, worth a gross amount of £63,195.08. This process, under legislative basis 2023/54, falls under the 'Below threshold - open competition' procurement method, targeting the software package and information systems category. The final contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Ltd, set to commence on 21 September 2025 and conclude on 21 September 2026. The buying organisation, a sub-central public authority situated in Salford, UK, aimed to renew its software systems with a call for quotes that engaged three businesses, though none were SMEs or VCSEs, within the specified bid submission window that ended on 10 September 2025. The procurement has transitioned from its initial tender stage announced on 3 September 2025, to an effective award stage as of 12 September 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the software and information systems domain, particularly those capable of providing quality and cost-effective services that meet the specific needs of academic institutions. Although the open competition method implied a broad call for bids, the detailed evaluation focusing on price, quality, and sustainability means that companies known for delivering high-value and sustainable software solutions could benefit most from such tenders. Additionally, by participating in below-threshold procurement like this, companies can establish a foothold with sub-central government authorities, potentially leading to future partnerships and transactions. Businesses interested in similar opportunities should consider enhancing their technical capabilities and sustainability practices to align with the awarding criteria used by institutions like the University of Salford.
