Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured a dynamic and interactive learning system for Salford Business School. The requirement is for simulator technology supporting interactive learning, with the university intending to integrate the system into its teaching for the 2026–27 academic year. The procurement is categorised as goods, specifically simulators. The buyer is the University of Salford, and the system is intended for use by Salford Business School in Salford. The requirement covers one procurement lot and centres on supplying and integrating the learning system rather than a broader programme of teaching, consultancy or general education services. This is therefore relevant to suppliers of educational simulation platforms, business-learning technology and associated simulator products.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award was made to Edumundo B.V. on 5 August 2026 for £58,663.20 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 5 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award covers the simulator goods for the single lot and is recorded as active. A signature milestone was scheduled for 5 August 2026. The published evaluation route was the direct-award decision rather than a competitive assessment of bids, so there are no competing tenderers or scored evaluation criteria to consider. The process was conducted by the University of Salford for Salford Business School.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for a specialist interactive learning and simulation system within a university business-school setting. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would provide established simulator or immersive learning technology, with functionality suitable for teaching business concepts through interactive scenarios. Credibility would also depend on the ability to integrate the platform into an existing university teaching environment, support academic users and maintain reliable access throughout an academic year. Relevant suppliers may include education-technology companies, simulation-platform developers and specialist resellers or implementation partners with higher-education experience. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that delivery of this requirement is not necessarily limited to large technology providers, provided the product and integration capability are sufficiently specialised.
