UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured renewal and hosting services for Kinetics software, the accommodation management platform used to run the university’s booking system. The requirement covers continued use and hosting of accommodation software, with associated software implementation services. The buying organisation is Coventry University, based in Coventry, and the service is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist university accommodation technology requirement rather than a general IT support or property-management contract. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would typically provide accommodation booking platforms, software hosting, implementation or support services for higher education or similarly complex booking environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one lot. KINETIC SOLUTIONS LIMITED was awarded the contract, which is active. The contract was signed on 27 February 2026 and runs from 1 March 2026 to 29 February 2028, with a renewal option described as a 2+1 year term and a maximum end date of 28 February 2029. Its value is £27,500 excluding VAT and £33,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and awarded without a competitive tender, under the direct-award route for a below-threshold procurement.

This award indicates a defined demand for specialist accommodation booking software at a university, including hosting and implementation services. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have a proven accommodation-management or room-booking platform, reliable hosted service delivery and the technical capability to maintain a live booking system used by students or other residents. Relevant experience would include implementing or renewing software in a higher-education environment, integrating booking workflows and supporting users through the service term. A credible competitor would also need the operational capacity to provide dependable hosting, ongoing software support and continuity when an established university system is renewed or replaced.
