Summary of the contracting process

London and South East University Group procured support for its customer relationship management (CRM) system, including all associated plugins and processes. This is a software-related services requirement, covering ongoing support across the system and its connected components. The buyer is based at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich. The stated delivery location is within the United Kingdom, in the area covering the Brighton and Hove and East Sussex part of the country.

The procurement was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP through a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The award was dated 10 September 2026, and its gross value was £50,982. The contract period was scheduled to run from 7 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The process is recorded as complete, with one lot. The contract is recorded as cancelled, with a final status date of 30 September 2026; no reason for the cancellation is stated in the procurement details. The recorded award remains active.

This award shows demand from London and South East University Group for specialist support of its CRM environment, including its plugins and associated processes. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in CRM support and the expertise to maintain and troubleshoot integrations and connected workflows, rather than providing general software services alone. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate capacity to support a live system across its components and to work with a university buyer. Ernst & Young LLP, recorded as a large supplier, was selected for this requirement. The process used a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not provide a tested competitive specification or evaluation criteria against which other providers can benchmark themselves. The recorded contract cancellation also means the award should be read as evidence of the buyer’s requirement, not proof that the planned service was delivered.
