Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured an eProcurement cloud marketplace and purchasing platform. The requirement covers supplier catalogues and punch-out functionality connected to the university’s core finance system, including Amazon Business integration and delivery of the eOligos module. This is software and information systems work supporting purchasing activity rather than a physical supply contract. The buyer is the University of Exeter, based at Northcote House in Exeter. Delivery covers public-sector activity across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and has been awarded to OneAdvanced Limited, a large Birmingham-based supplier.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. OneAdvanced Limited was selected on 23 July 2026 for the single lot. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2029. Its value is £113,377 excluding VAT, or £136,052 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome records the award as an active award and the procurement as complete. The available information identifies the purchasing platform, catalogue and punch-out functionality, Amazon Business integration and eOligos module as the contracted requirement. This was not a competitive tender, so the award does not provide a comparison of competing bids or a published scoring basis.

This award indicates demand from the University of Exeter for integrated eProcurement technology that connects supplier catalogues and punch-out purchasing with a core finance system. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need a mature cloud purchasing platform, reliable catalogue management and secure finance-system integration. Relevant capability includes supporting Amazon Business connectivity and delivering the eOligos module, alongside dependable implementation and ongoing service across a geographically broad English user base. The incumbent’s profile as a large supplier suggests that scale, established delivery capacity and the ability to support a university-wide purchasing environment are commercially relevant. Software providers, finance-system integrators and procurement technology specialists with these capabilities would be best placed to study this buyer’s future requirement when the current arrangement reaches its end.
