UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton Solent University procured a one-year renewal of Access CRM software and licence access for managing alumni, business and civic stakeholders. The renewal covers use of the contacts, data preferences, mailings and events modules, with provision for up to 20 user licences. This is an information technology service delivered in Southampton. The requirement is specifically for continued use of Access CRM and its stated modules, rather than a general-purpose software purchase.

The procurement is complete and Access UK Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 2 April 2026 and runs from 18 June 2026 to 17 June 2027. Its value is £32,056 excluding VAT and £38,467.20 including VAT. Southampton Solent University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The process comprised one lot. The award was for the CRM renewal and licence access described, covering up to 20 users and the contacts, data preferences, mailings and events modules.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future CRM requirements, the demonstrated need is continuity of Access CRM for alumni, business and civic stakeholder management, including contacts, data preferences, mailings and events. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant software and licensing, cover these functions, and support use by up to 20 users. This procurement was awarded directly without competition, so the route used here did not test competing offers. Suppliers with a closely matched CRM product and the capacity to serve the university’s stakeholder-management needs are the most relevant comparators.
