UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of East Anglia bought an IBM-developed APAD Gold maximum site licence, covering a statistical software suite for data management, advanced analytics, multivariate analysis and business intelligence. The procurement is for software goods and associated software supply services, including analytical, scientific, statistical and business intelligence software. The requirement supports the university’s use of integrated tools for handling data, performing complex statistical and predictive analysis, and producing business intelligence. Delivery is for the University of East Anglia in Norwich, at Norwich Research Park. The buyer is a sub-central public authority. The requirement was treated as a single procurement lot and is focused on supplying the specified software suite rather than construction, consultancy or general IT services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of East Anglia used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to Version 1 Solutions Limited and is recorded as active. The award was made on 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030. Its gross value is £44,856. The procurement has one lot, which is complete, and the award covers that lot in full. The published outcome identifies the purchase as goods, with software supply services included in the requirement. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the route used was a direct award without competition.

This opportunity indicates demand from the University of East Anglia for a substantial, multi-year deployment of specialist statistical and business intelligence software. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to provide the relevant IBM software or an authorised route to supply it, together with the licensing knowledge needed for a maximum site licence. Relevant capability includes data management, advanced analytics, multivariate analysis, statistical modelling and business intelligence. Suppliers should be able to support an organisation-wide software deployment and explain how licensing, access and software supply will work across a university environment. Experience supplying analytical software to complex public-sector or higher-education organisations would strengthen a competitor’s position, particularly where users need both specialist statistical functions and broader institutional data and reporting tools.
