Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was conducted by London Metropolitan University for the renewal of the Vuelio licence, which is utilised for public relations and communications. This procurement falls under the Software Package and Information Systems category, with a CPV code of 48000000. The procurement process was completed using a limited method without a prior call for competition, justified by its classification as outside the scope of certain directives. The procurement was facilitated through the CCS GCloud Framework and culminated in an award to Pulsar Group Plc. Located in the United Kingdom, the contract was signed on 1st April 2025, with a total contract value of GBP 28,100.

This procurement process offers growth opportunities particularly for large software and IT service providers, as the contract relates to the renewal of a software licence crucial for organisations heavily reliant on digital tools for communication and outreach. Firms specialising in software packages and information systems and experienced in dealing with public sector contracts would stand in good stead to compete in such tenders, especially those adept at navigating frameworks such as the CCS GCloud. The procurement's limited method highlights the importance of establishing pre-existing relationships or a proven track record within government procurement frameworks to secure similar opportunities.
