Summary of the contracting process

The University of Greenwich has completed a procurement process for the development of a student workforce planning solution aimed at enhancing their existing systems to accommodate future growth and deliver essential savings. This project falls under the industry category of IT services, encompassing consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The contracting process followed a direct award procurement method due to the specialist nature of the work, which is tailored to the higher education sector, and the proprietary rights involved. The contract, valued at £2,985,000, with MVHW Solutions Ltd as the awarded supplier, will commence on 1st May 2026 and is set to run for 12 months, with the option to renew up to three additional periods of 12 months each. Located at the Avery Hill Campus in London, the buyer organisation is part of the UK's sub-central government authorities.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in IT services, particularly those that can offer proprietary and tailored solutions for the education sector. Companies with expertise in upgrading and integrating complex system architectures can leverage the growing demands in education to expand their operations with such projects. Given the direct procurement method employed, this contract is ideally suited for firms with existing relationships or unique capabilities in higher education solutions development. The potential for renewals over the coming years further provides long-term business growth possibilities for suitable vendors. As such, this tender is an excellent opportunity for establishments that can meet specific project needs and demonstrate capacity for innovative and adaptable software solutions.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Development of Student Workforce Planning: Revisions to Existing Systems

Notice Description

The University currently operates a student workforce planning system but there is a need to move the provision to a fit for purpose, single site care provision to ensure that the needs of our modern university are met now and for future years to come. The fundamental considerations for this solution is that it fits within our existing system architecture, is specialist for the higher education sector and that the company owns the intellectual property rights. The delivery of a timely development is required to enable the university to continue to develop its workforce planning system, which will deliver essential savings and ensure student success. There are no reasonable alternative or substitute development sites within the desired location that will meet the delivery timescales.
