Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester procured nutrition analysis software for its School of Health and Wellbeing. The software is intended to support teaching across several courses, including Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine and Nutrition and Dietetics. This is a specialist software package rather than a general IT supply, with the requirement classified under industry-specific software. The buyer is the University of Worcester, based at Henwick Grove, Worcester, and the requirement supports activity in Worcester. The work is therefore relevant to software providers with products for nutritional analysis, dietary assessment, health education or related teaching and learning applications. The selected supplier, Dietary Assessment Ltd, is based at the University of Leeds and operates as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 12 June 2026, after an enquiry deadline of 5 June 2026. One lot was awarded to Dietary Assessment Ltd, and the contract was signed on 5 August 2026. The signed contract is valued at £9,000 excluding VAT, or £10,800 including VAT. Its initial period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option for two further 12-month renewals, allowing a maximum end date of 31 August 2030. Evaluation was based on 35% price and 65% quality. Electronic submission was allowed, and the competition used an open procedure for a below-threshold requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for nutrition analysis software to support university teaching across nutrition and lifestyle-related courses. A future competitor would need a credible product that can perform dietary or nutrition analysis in an educational setting and support teaching use across multiple courses. Strong evidence of software quality would be important because quality carried substantially more weight than price in the evaluation. Relevant suppliers are likely to include specialist dietary assessment platforms, nutrition analysis software developers and providers able to implement or support software for a higher education institution. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement was deliverable by a focused specialist rather than only a large technology company. Familiarity with university users, course delivery and staff or student support would strengthen a competing offer.
