UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured services for its website content management system, including website hosting, website search engine hosting, licensing and ongoing support. This is an information technology and internet support requirement, covering the systems and services needed to manage, publish, host and search the university’s web content. The buying organisation is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the wider IT services category, including consulting, software development, internet and support services. It is relevant to suppliers of web content management platforms, managed website hosting, hosted search, software licensing and technical support, particularly those able to provide an integrated service for a higher education organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Terminalfour Solutions Ltd. was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £87,009.71 gross. The procurement used a direct method rather than an open or competitive tender. The published outcome identifies a complete process and an active contract. The arrangement covers services rather than goods or works, with the awarded requirement relating to the university’s website content management, hosting, search hosting, licensing and support services.

This procurement indicates demand from Bath Spa University for an integrated web platform and managed service rather than a standalone software product. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in website content management, secure and reliable hosting, website search hosting, software licensing and continuing technical support. The requirement favours suppliers able to combine platform provision with operational support and service continuity for a university website. Relevant experience in higher education or other complex, content-rich organisations would help demonstrate understanding of multiple users, structured publishing, search performance and support needs. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist technology business with a focused service offering.
