UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University has completed the procurement process for the "Financial teaching software" project, which involves the renewal of subscriptions to Bloomberg Terminals essential for delivering courses from the Faculty of Business and Law. This procurement falls within the "goods" category and pertains to software packages and information systems, specifically catering to educational needs. The main procurement method used was "direct," indicating that the process was conducted below the threshold and without competition. The awarded contract began on 1st August 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st July 2026, with a gross contract value of £75,955.26. Coventry University, located in Coventry, UK, acted as the buying organization, while Bloomberg Finance LP, a large-scale supplier based in London, was the awarded supplier for this procurement.

This procurement offers valuable business growth opportunities for large suppliers specialising in financial and educational software solutions, particularly those experienced in offering comprehensive software packages for academic institutions. Although the contract was executed directly with Bloomberg Finance LP without an open tender process, similar future projects may seek diverse software service providers that can tailor educational software solutions effectively to meet university-level demands. Such projects typically favour suppliers with a robust track record of providing high-standard educational tools, thus encouraging companies in the software development and systems integration sectors to align their offerings with educational sector needs.
