Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Coventry University, involves a tender titled "Smart Deploy Software," classified under the industry category of "Software package and information systems." This procurement relates to goods and was conducted through a limited procurement method, specifically, an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Though the procurement stage is marked as complete, with the contract awarded to CDW Limited, it's noteworthy that the lot associated with this tender was cancelled. The contract, valued at £49,344.05, was signed on 13th October 2025, and the procurement was conducted in the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing software solutions, particularly those already dealing with custom imaging software or information systems. Despite the specific nature of the procurement and its limited competition due to technical reasons, businesses capable of offering unique solutions in this realm could explore potential avenues for growth and establish valuable partnerships. Large suppliers with the capability to meet specific technical requirements, as demonstrated by CDW Limited, are well-suited to undertake similar competitive processes.
