Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University renewed licences for its CMIS timetabling software, a software and information systems purchase. The requirement concerns continued licensing of the university’s timetabling product. The buyer is based in London, and the recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. London Metropolitan University made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. OneAdvanced Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £122,307 excluding VAT and £146,768.40 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot.

This purchase shows demand at London Metropolitan University for renewed licensing of its CMIS timetabling product. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to supply licences for the relevant timetabling software and be able to meet a university’s licensing requirement at comparable scale. The award went to OneAdvanced Limited through a direct award without competition, so it does not demonstrate that a competitive evaluation tested alternative suppliers or identified particular technical credentials. Suppliers focused on university timetabling software licensing are the closest fit to the requirement.
