Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University, a public authority within the sub-central government of the UK, has completed a procurement process for statistical analysis software, specifically SPSS, with a focus on serving their educational group needs over a five-year period. The procurement was executed via a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold, and resulted in a signed agreement on 30th September 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £54,210, began on 1st October 2025 and will run until 30th September 2030. The supplier selected for this contract is Version 1 Solutions, located in Birmingham, UK, underscoring the commitment to ensure sustained software support and pricing benefits for the university's students and staff over the contract's duration.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies specialising in educational software solutions, particularly those capable of delivering goods in the 'Industry specific software package' category, as per the CPV classification 48100000. While the procurement method was direct and without competition, businesses of a similar calibre and capability as Version 1 Solutions could identify future opportunities by aligning their offerings toward educational institutions seeking long-term software solutions. Companies experienced in scalability and comprehensive service delivery in educational environments would find potential growth avenues by engaging with such tenders, especially within the UKG33 region.
