UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University procured a renewal of software licences for Maplesoft software and information systems. The requirement is classified as software package and information systems, covering the continued licensing of an established software product rather than software development, implementation or general IT support. The buying organisation is London Metropolitan University, a public university based in London. The contracted delivery location is the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the work serving the university’s ongoing need to maintain access to its Maplesoft software environment. This is relevant to software publishers, licensing companies and authorised technology suppliers able to provide continuing licence access for higher-education users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. MAPLESOFT EUROPE LIMITED was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 24 July 2026 to 23 July 2029. Its value is £25,478 excluding VAT, or £30,574.80 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one software-licensing requirement. The recorded outcome shows an active award and an active contract. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender: the route was a below-threshold direct procurement without competition. The requirement therefore demonstrates a completed three-year licensing commitment by London Metropolitan University to the incumbent software provider.

This procurement is commercially relevant to suppliers of Maplesoft software licences, including the publisher, authorised resellers and licensing specialists with access to the required product portfolio. The award shows that London Metropolitan University purchases continued software access as a defined institutional requirement, with a multi-year commitment and a value in the tens of thousands of pounds. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate authority to supply Maplesoft licences, understand licence renewal and continuity requirements, and support a university customer’s ongoing software use. Experience serving higher-education organisations, reliable account management and the ability to maintain uninterrupted licence entitlement would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement is next considered.
