UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured Planon software for CAFM (computer-aided facilities management) planning by its Estates Department. The requirement covers software packages and information systems, used within the university’s estate-management operations and integrated with the university’s key systems. The buying organisation is Coventry University, based in Coventry, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. Planon software is the specified product rather than a general software-development or implementation service. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement and relates to the university’s established estates-management technology environment. It is therefore most relevant to software publishers, facilities-management technology providers and organisations with experience supporting integrated CAFM systems in higher-education or similarly complex estate environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Coventry University used a direct award below the goods and services threshold, without competition, because the software was not available through a value-added reseller and was integrated with the university’s key systems. Planon Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025 and runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £61,860.89 excluding VAT and £74,233.07 including VAT. The contract is active. The procurement had one completed lot, covering the Planon software requirement. The route and outcome indicate a product-specific purchase rather than an open market competition evaluated across competing software products.

This award demonstrates Coventry University’s demand for CAFM software supporting Estates Department planning, with integration into key institutional systems being central to the requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature facilities-management software product, the ability to support estate-planning workflows and proven capability to integrate reliably with core university systems. Relevant suppliers are likely to be software publishers or specialist facilities-management technology providers, rather than general IT resellers, because the procurement identified the product as unavailable through a value-added reseller. Experience delivering and supporting software in complex, multi-site estates would strengthen credibility, particularly where continuity, interoperability and dependable operational support are important to the university.
