This service-oriented contract falls under the "services" category and encompasses the Student app, CampusM, which integrates vital campus services and functionalities for students. Classified as "below threshold - without competition," the procurement method employed is direct, with the contract awarded to Ex-Libris (UK) Ltd. Key aspects of the contract have been finalized, with the contract period commencing on 1st October 2025 and concluding on 30th September 2026. The contracting authority operates from Llandaff campus, Cardiff, with procurement actions reflecting Welsh devolved regulations, indicative of a regional focus in execution.

While the direct procurement process mitigated competition, businesses attuned to offering cutting-edge, scalable, and reliable digital educational platforms stand a better chance of securing similar opportunities in the future. Engaging with such projects can bolster a supplier's portfolio and pave the way for long-term collaborations within the public education sector.
