Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Campus M" project, led by the University of Sussex (a public authority under sub-central government), has reached the awarding stage. This tender concerns the acquisition of a "Campus M License" with a focus on goods in the software package and information systems industry category. The contract was awarded to EX LIBRIS (UK) Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London. The process was conducted through a direct procurement method, falling below the threshold thus without competition. The official signing of the contract took place on 25th March 2026, and the contract will be active from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029. The total contract value is approximately £160,191.92.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in software development and licensing, especially those specialising in educational technology solutions, to grow their influence in the public sector. Companies that offer innovative software solutions compatible with university needs could find similar future procurement opportunities beneficial. Large-scale suppliers comparable to EX LIBRIS would be particularly well-suited to compete in such high-value contracts due to their capacity to provide comprehensive software packages and systems efficiently.
