Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, has successfully completed a procurement process for a Site License Agreement for the Simitive WAMS Module, accommodating 2,500 users. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems" and is classified as goods. This direct procurement method, conducted below the threshold without competition, was finalised with an awarded contract to Simitive Limited, valued at £75,768.30, active from 17th November 2025 to 16th November 2026. The procurement took place in Coventry, UK, with the contract details published on 23rd November 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaging in software solutions and licensing, particularly for those specialising in academic and organisational management systems. Companies in the software development and IT services sectors would find this procurement model advantageous due to the demand for large-scale, multi-user licenses without a competitive tender process. While the current contract with Simitive Limited is active, similar future opportunities are expected to favour businesses that can offer scalable, efficient software solutions for academic institutions like Coventry University.
