Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire procured an electronic portfolio service for its Faculty of Health and Social Sciences. The requirement is for e-portfolio provision, supporting the faculty’s use of electronic portfolios; the published scope does not describe specific functions or implementation tasks. This is a services contract in the higher education field. The buyer is the University of Bedfordshire, based in Luton, and delivery is identified as taking place in the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single lot, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier, MyKnowledgeMap Limited, is based in York.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected: MyKnowledgeMap Limited. The University of Bedfordshire used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award is recorded as pending. Its value is £84,000 excluding VAT and £100,800 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. A future contract signature was scheduled for 9 October 2026. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement details. There is one lot, covering the e-portfolio service for the University’s Faculty of Health and Social Sciences; the award relates to that lot.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from the University of Bedfordshire, this award shows demand for an e-portfolio service within a university health and social sciences faculty. A credible competitor would need to provide an electronic portfolio service suited to a higher education setting and demonstrate how it can meet the faculty’s requirement. The available scope does not identify particular technical features, integrations, qualifications or delivery capacity, so these should not be assumed to have formed part of this purchase. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold requirement. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; the selected supplier is itself recorded as an SME and VCSE.
