Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured renewal licences for Tableau, the data visualisation platform supporting the University Group’s business intelligence service. The requirement covers Tableau Cloud access for 1,000 end-user viewer licences and dashboard design and data analysis for 35 creator licences used by the Strategic Planning and Insight Office. The procurement is classified as software packages and information systems. Delivery is for activity across the United Kingdom, supporting users who view interactive dashboards as well as specialist staff who build dashboards and analyse data. The requirement therefore combines cloud-based business intelligence access with platform licensing for a central strategic planning and insight function.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Coventry University awarded the requirement to Billigence Europe Ltd on 20 July 2026. The contract value is £372,443.92, with a three-year renewal plus one further year described in the requirement. The process used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the G-Cloud 14 Framework. One bid was recorded. The award basis was price. The procurement was justified on the basis that the requirement could be provided only by a particular economic operator because of protected exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award indicates established demand from Coventry University for enterprise Tableau licensing supporting both large-scale dashboard consumption and a smaller specialist development and analysis team. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need credible capability in Tableau Cloud licensing, viewer and creator entitlement models, interactive dashboard access, dashboard design and data analysis. Experience supporting business intelligence services in an education or similarly complex multi-user organisation would be relevant, particularly where licensing must serve many end users alongside a central insight function. The procurement also shows the importance of framework-based public sector routes, demonstrating value through negotiated licence pricing, and the ability to address platform ownership or intellectual property constraints.
