Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England, based in Bristol, has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Gecko Capture, Visit, Protect, Test Instance, Number Masking, Mobile Users + VoIP Subscription". This procurement falls under the goods and services categories, and it was executed using a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The contract is set to run from 16th January 2026 to 15th January 2027, with a total value of £67,485.60. The contract was signed on 15th September 2025. The supplier awarded the contract is GECKO LABS LIMITED, located in London, with the procurement taking place in the UKK12 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is now in the award stage.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for companies in the software and information systems industry, as well as those offering subscription services. GECKO LABS LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), is a prime example of the type of business well-suited to engage in this procurement process. Businesses experienced in providing software packages, information systems, and telecommunication services like VoIP could find similar opportunities beneficial for expansion and developing partnerships with educational institutions like the University of the West of England. The absence of a competitive bidding process indicates opportunities for SMEs to establish direct relationships with sub-central public authorities.
