Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described is led by Coventry University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, focusing on renewing "On Scene Licenses" for a specialised simulation platform. This procurement falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with the main procurement category being goods. The process reached the award stage, completing a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, and was awarded on 22 November 2025. It involves a two-year renewal of a bespoke software license with the contract period commencing on 1 October 2025 and ending on 30 September 2026. The associated contract notice was published on the same date as the award.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for growth, particularly benefiting businesses specialising in software licensing and simulation systems that can align with long-term collaboration agreements. While it directly involved XVR Simulation B.V., a large-scale supplier based in the Netherlands, similar businesses capable of providing specialist software solutions and engaging in direct procurement arrangements could find such opportunities attractive in fostering continuous partnerships with educational institutions and specialised training centres. This case underscores the potential benefits for companies able to deliver unique and bespoke technological solutions.
