UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured a Qualtrics Cloud Professional software licence, using licence configuration Q-306453. This is a software package and information systems requirement, supplied as a cloud-based product rather than works or a physical goods delivery. The procurement supports the university’s continued use of the Qualtrics platform under the specified licence configuration. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as a single lot and relates to the provision of the software licence to the university. Qualtrics LLC, based in Provo, United States, was identified as the supplier.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The University of the West of England used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and runs from 2 June 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £46,966 excluding VAT, or £56,359.20 including VAT. The contract is active and was awarded to Qualtrics LLC. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. It comprised one completed lot covering the Qualtrics Cloud Professional licence configuration. The published description identifies the licence as being required until 1 June 2027. No separate award date is provided, so the contract signing date is the relevant recorded outcome date.

This requirement demonstrates established demand from a UK university for a managed cloud software licence rather than bespoke software development or implementation works. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would have a proven cloud software product, the ability to provide and administer licence configurations, and experience supporting institutional customers through a defined subscription period. Credibility would come from clear product capability, reliable service continuity, appropriate customer support and the operational capacity to manage licensing for a higher-education organisation. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist software provider can satisfy this type of public-sector requirement. Competitors should understand the buyer’s preference for a specific platform and be able to offer a directly relevant alternative or equivalent service when the requirement next reaches the market.
