Summary of the contracting process

The University of Birmingham recently completed a procurement process entitled "WMHTIA Secondary Grant Scheme to be paid in two tranches" under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54. This tender, categorised in the industry of goods, particularly modules and software package information systems, was carried out using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded to Black Space Technology Limited, a Birmingham-based supplier, with a contract period from 16th October 2024 to 18th October 2024, valued at £75,000 GBP. The process is now in the award stage, as of the completion date in June 2026.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses involved in the provision and development of software systems and modules, particularly those classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies positioned in the technology field, or those capable of supplying goods that align with the requirements of the grant scheme, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Moreover, the direct procurement approach suggests potential for fostering direct relationships with the University of Birmingham for future procurement opportunities without the need for extensive competition.
