Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Trinity University has recently completed a contracting process for the provision of Sophos Managed Detection and Response (MDR) licences. The contract, valued at £162,000, falls under the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000) and was not subjected to a prior call for competition due to its nature as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contracting process is classified under the 'limited' procurement method rationale, outside the scope of standard directive applications. This contract was signed on 2nd June 2026 and leverages the existing lot 4 of the Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) Software Licence Reseller Agreement, with an option for a further 12-month extension based on requirement and performance considerations. The contract's location is in the UKE42 region, covering Leeds.

For businesses specialising in software solutions and information systems, this procurement provides a substantial opportunity to engage within the education sector, catered specifically to institutions like Leeds Trinity University. Large enterprises, such as Phoenix Software, who competitively offer robust solutions for cybersecurity and managed response services, are well-suited to these types of contracts. The formalised structure of this contract under a framework agreement also highlights opportunities for suppliers to secure future extensions based on performance, fostering long-term business growth and sustainability within the academic domain. Such contracts are ideal for companies capable of providing scalable and reliable software services tailored to public educational needs.
