UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured student user accounts for safeMedicate, an educational software package used in its student learning environment. The requirement covers continued access to safeMedicate under supplier quote 2236. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, and the service is associated with delivery in the Bristol area. This is a software supply requirement rather than construction, consultancy or general IT support. It is most relevant to education technology providers, academic software publishers and suppliers able to provide managed student accounts for higher education users. The named product and supplier arrangement indicate that the requirement is focused on access to an established learning platform rather than development of a new system.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. AUTHENTIC WORLD LIMITED was awarded the contract on 28 July 2026 for £23,056 excluding VAT, or £27,677.20 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is recorded as active. The procurement category is goods, with the requirement classified as an educational software package. The University of the West of England is the buyer. The award covers the student user accounts and safeMedicate requirement, with the contract linked to supplier quote 2236. The process therefore records a concluded single-supplier purchase rather than a competitive multi-supplier tender.

This award shows that the University of the West of England buys specialist educational software access for student users through a straightforward direct, below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply or support a safeMedicate-type platform, provision and manage individual student accounts, and maintain reliable access throughout an academic contract. Relevant businesses include educational software publishers, authorised resellers and specialist learning-technology providers with higher-education customers. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be met by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate product knowledge, dependable account administration and experience supporting institutional student populations.
