Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University procured NetIQ, a software package and information system used as its primary identity management system. The requirement covers the university’s NetIQ identity management system rather than a general software purchase. It is classified as goods and concerns the supply of identity management software and associated system capability. The contracting organisation is London Metropolitan University, an education body governed by public law. The delivery location is the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single package, although that package was subsequently marked as cancelled within the procurement record. The selected supplier is ProofID, a large UK-based identity management provider headquartered in Salford.

This procurement has been awarded. London Metropolitan University used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award through the G-Cloud framework. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded, and ProofID received the active award. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 for £89,750. The tender status is complete and the contract status is active. The procurement record also marks the single lot as cancelled, while separately recording an active award and active contract for that lot. No award date or contract end date is recorded in the outcome. The selected supplier is ProofID, and the contract identifier corresponds to the award identifier.

For competitors, this award demonstrates that London Metropolitan University buys a primary identity management system based on NetIQ and can source it through the G-Cloud framework using a direct award route. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable NetIQ and identity management expertise, the ability to support a university’s primary identity platform, and access to the relevant public-sector framework route. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement and assessed on price, so suppliers would need to present a commercially competitive software and support proposition as well as clear evidence that their solution meets the university’s operational identity management needs. ProofID’s selection shows that specialist identity management providers are the relevant competitive set for this buyer.
