Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire has completed the procurement process for renewing the WISEflow Site License in 2025, ensuring continued access to educational software services utilised by its Exams Team for online university examinations. The procurement was conducted via a limited method, directly awarding the contract to UNIWISE EDUCATION SOLUTIONS LTD without prior publication, as it fell outside the scope of a public call for competition. The contract was signed on 24 October 2025, with UNIWISE EDUCATION SOLUTIONS LTD, based in Manchester, serving as the supplier. This award is valued at £75,555 GBP, supporting academic integrity and assessment management systems under the framework ref ITS1049 AP.

This tender creates valuable opportunities for SMEs specialising in educational technology services, particularly those capable of supplying or developing high-quality educational software solutions. Businesses operating in the educational sector or developing software tailored for academia would find this market segment promising for growth. Although the contract was directly awarded, similar opportunities may arise for competitive bidding in future renewals, offering prospects for businesses with innovative educational software capabilities to engage with public sector institutions like the University of Bedfordshire.
