UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea University procured the renewal of Zenworks and OpenText Identity Manager licences. This is a software and information-systems requirement, covering continued licensing for the university’s identity-management platforms rather than software development, consultancy or construction. The buying organisation is Swansea University, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and is categorised as goods. It concerns the university’s ongoing use of established Zenworks and OpenText Identity Manager products, so suppliers operating in enterprise software licensing, identity and access management, or authorised technology distribution are the most relevant comparators. The requirement is specific to renewing these named software licences for the university’s systems.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Swansea University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. ST-Four Ltd was selected on 17 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £26,082.85 excluding VAT, or £31,299.42 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for Zenworks and OpenText Identity Manager licensing, and the contract remains active. The published outcome records one supplier and one award. The available procurement information identifies the direct-award route; it does not set out a competitive evaluation or scored award basis.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Swansea University’s demand for continued Zenworks and OpenText Identity Manager licensing. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply these named products lawfully, understand renewal and entitlement arrangements, and maintain reliable access to vendor licensing and support channels. Relevant experience in university or other complex organisational environments would help demonstrate an ability to protect service continuity for identity-management systems. Businesses should also be able to handle a direct, below-threshold purchasing route and provide accurate licensing advice, account management and renewal administration for an established software estate.
