Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured CAS Shield setup and implementation services. The requirement covers educational software, together with associated repair, maintenance and support services for personal computers, office equipment, telecommunications and audio-visual equipment. The work supports the university’s technology and service environment, with the buying organisation based in Luton. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase: relevant capabilities include configuring and implementing educational software and providing ongoing technical support for the associated equipment and communications infrastructure. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the scope was not restricted to large national technology providers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. It comprised one lot. Enroly Ltd was selected as supplier. The award value is £71,700 excluding VAT, or £86,040 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. A future contract signature was scheduled for 10 September 2026. The procurement used the University of Bedfordshire’s legal basis under the Procurement Act 2023. The published outcome identifies services as the main category and links the award to educational software and related equipment maintenance. No competitive evaluation criteria are set out in the procurement information.

For a supplier assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the procurement indicates demand for a combined education-technology and technical-support capability. A credible competitor would need to supply or configure educational software such as CAS Shield, manage implementation into a university environment, and support the related personal-computing, office, telecommunications and audio-visual equipment. The requirement suits a specialist SME or social enterprise able to deliver practical setup alongside dependable maintenance and associated services, rather than a provider offering software without implementation or support capability. Experience of working with universities or similarly complex education organisations would help demonstrate understanding of user needs, systems integration and service continuity when this type of requirement is considered again.
