Summary of the contracting process

The University of Wolverhampton procured a sports performance analysis platform for its undergraduate football and sports performance programmes. The service supports teaching and assessment across Levels 4, 5 and 6, including video-based performance analysis, performance coding, data interpretation, reporting, coaching analysis, placement activities, research projects and industry-recognised professional certification. The requirement includes institution-wide access for relevant students and academic staff, together with software licences, hosting, maintenance, technical support and platform updates. The work is delivered for the University in Wolverhampton, with potential use by its Sports Science and Sports Therapy programmes. This is a software and educational technology service, classified under software packages and information systems and educational software development services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold purchase. It comprised one lot and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. HUDL UK, LIMITED received the award on 28 July 2026 for £40,873 excluding VAT (£49,047 including VAT). The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. The award and contract are active. The purchasing route was a direct award below the applicable threshold, rather than a competitive tender. The requirement was evaluated through that direct-award process; the published information does not set out separate scored criteria or competing bids. The contract covers the full platform service and associated support for the University.

This award shows demand from a higher education buyer for a complete sports performance analysis platform rather than a standalone software licence. Relevant suppliers would need to provide reliable video-analysis and coding functionality, data interpretation, reporting and coaching-analysis tools that can support teaching, assessment, placements, research and professional certification. Credible providers should be able to offer institution-wide licensing for students and academic staff, secure hosting, maintenance, technical support and regular platform updates. The service must work across football and wider sports performance education, with sufficient usability and resilience for repeated academic delivery. Suppliers able to support expansion into sports science and sports therapy, while demonstrating experience of education-sector implementation and ongoing account support, would be well placed when this type of requirement is next reviewed.
