UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University procured ISMS Online software, a software package and information system supporting its Safety and Security, Infrastructure Planning and Digital Delivery teams. The platform is also used by Internal Governance and Finance, including for PCI DSS v4.0 compliance. It supports the university’s ISO 27001 certification, related activities and improvement plans, which underpin research funding and wider organisational objectives. Its risk management modules are being developed for broader use across teams and a larger user base. The buyer is Coventry University, based in Coventry, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This requirement is therefore relevant to software providers specialising in information security management systems, governance, risk and compliance platforms, and enterprise risk management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to Alliantist Ltd and is active. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026, runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027, and is valued at £35,609.20 excluding VAT or £42,731.04 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated and progressed as a direct award rather than through a competitive tender. The software package and information systems classification applies to the awarded requirement. The contract concerns one supplier and one lot, with the stated term covering one year of ISMS Online provision and associated platform capability.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a university for an established information security management and risk platform supporting multiple operational and corporate teams. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would need credible capability in ISO 27001 support, PCI DSS v4.0 compliance workflows, risk management, governance processes and improvement planning. The platform must be suitable for use beyond a single specialist team, with functionality that can support wider organisational adoption and a growing user base. Experience delivering software to complex higher-education or similarly regulated organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where research funding, assurance and organisational risk are involved. A competitor would also need to understand direct, below-threshold purchasing routes and demonstrate that its product can sustain core compliance and security activities.
