UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured services for a sports centre booking system. The requirement covers providing the booking system, supporting the associated hardware and software, and hosting the system on the university’s servers. It also includes related fees. This is a technology and systems-support service, classified under CPV 72253200 (systems support services), rather than the supply of sports equipment or the construction of facilities. The buyer is the University of the West of England, based at its Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The system supports the university’s sports centre operations, so relevant suppliers are those serving education, leisure or campus-facility environments with booking platforms and the technical support needed to keep them operating.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of the West of England made a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition. GLADSTONE MRM LIMITED was selected as the supplier, with the award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 25 August to 26 August 2026. Its value is £46,274.29 excluding VAT, or £55,529.15 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one service requirement. The published procurement information does not set out a separate award date or evaluation weighting; the outcome is instead presented as a below-threshold, non-competitive award. The contracting process and the related lot are both recorded as complete.

This procurement indicates established demand for a specialist booking and systems-support partner within a university sports-centre setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a booking platform suitable for managing sports-centre activity, together with the ability to support the customer’s existing hardware and software. The supplier would also need to provide reliable hosting and ongoing technical support, with a clear approach to handling system-related fees. The award to GLADSTONE MRM LIMITED, an SME, shows that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology integrator. Relevant experience in university, leisure or comparable multi-user facilities would help demonstrate an understanding of operational booking needs.
