Summary of the contracting process

London South Bank University commissioned a shared staff intranet for use across all entities of the LSBU Group. The work is implementation of an intranet built on Microsoft SharePoint Online, within software programming and consultancy services. Delivery is intended across the group’s entities in England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is London South Bank University. The requirement centres on establishing a common staff-facing digital platform across the group, rather than supplying a general-purpose software product.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to FUSE CS LTD. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. Its value is £61,100 excluding VAT and £73,320 including VAT. The published data gives no separate award date; the contract signature date is recorded above. The contracting process records no evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be summarised.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from London South Bank University, this award demonstrates demand for SharePoint Online implementation to create a shared staff intranet across a multi-entity university group. A credible competitor would need practical capability in designing and implementing SharePoint Online intranets for staff use, and the capacity to deliver a shared solution across the group’s entities. The selected supplier, FUSE CS LTD, is recorded as a large business, indicating that a larger provider delivered this contract; this does not establish that smaller firms could not compete. The limited-competition route is also relevant to understanding how this requirement was sourced. The work is specifically focused on a group-wide staff intranet, so suppliers whose expertise is confined to unrelated software services are less directly aligned.
