UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured a renewal of its Egress service as a computer network service. The requirement supports the university’s information technology and network environment, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The buyer is the University of Bedfordshire, based in Luton, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single requirement. It is relevant to technology suppliers that provide, support or renew Egress-related network services for higher education or other public-sector organisations. The named requirement is specific to service renewal, so businesses focused solely on general hardware supply, construction, or unrelated professional services are unlikely to be relevant to this procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BOXXE LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is active. The University of Bedfordshire used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026, with an award date not separately stated. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £30,894 excluding VAT, or £37,072.60 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and the computer network service associated with the Egress renewal. The process was therefore concluded through a non-competitive route, rather than an open or selective tender in which suppliers submitted competing bids.

This award demonstrates an established requirement at the University of Bedfordshire for continuing Egress-related computer network services. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable work in future would need practical capability in delivering and renewing the relevant service, with the operational capacity to support a university environment across the United Kingdom. Experience of maintaining continuity during a service renewal would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage a public-sector customer’s technical and contractual requirements. BOXXE LIMITED is identified as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this type of technology service has been delivered by a smaller specialist supplier rather than only by a large corporate provider.
