UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought an Ivanti Connect Secure licence: a concurrent-user subscription, Gold Direct edition, for gateway software. The requirement supports the university’s use of Ivanti Connect Secure and covers the licence specified as PS-ICS-CU-S-GLD-D. The buying organisation is based at Frenchay Campus, Bristol, and the software is for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a technology goods requirement rather than a consultancy, implementation or construction project. Businesses supplying enterprise gateway software, secure access platforms or software licences will find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to provide the specified Ivanti product and subscription model through an authorised commercial route.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under one lot. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, and selected IP-PERFORMANCE LTD, an SME. The award was made on 1 April 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2027. Its value is £27,538 excluding VAT and £33,045.60 including VAT. The award covers the gateway software package and the Ivanti Connect Secure concurrent-user Gold Direct subscription. The recorded procedure was a below-threshold direct procurement rather than an open or competitive tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at the University of the West of England for continued access to a named enterprise secure-access gateway product, supplied as a concurrent-user subscription. Competitors would need a credible route to supply Ivanti Connect Secure licences, understand the Gold Direct edition and PS-ICS-CU-S-GLD-D product specification, and manage subscription continuity across the required service period. Relevant suppliers are likely to include authorised software resellers, licensing specialists and IT infrastructure providers with established vendor relationships. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold direct route also shows that suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to engage clearly with university purchasing teams and respond efficiently to focused licensing requirements.
