## Summary

The University of Salford has concluded the procurement process for the renewal of its Medial Video Storage Solution, a software package crucial for video content hosting. This renewal ensures safe and secure video material deployment within the university's schools and broader sharing capabilities. The procurement was managed through an open procedure below the threshold, culminating in an award to Medial on 26th March 2025. The contract, valued at £28,506.74, will commence on 30th March 2025 and will run until 30th March 2027, ensuring continuity in enhancing the staff and student experience with integrated video storage solutions. The purchasing organisation, based in Salford, has highlighted the importance of this solution in maintaining service delivery via systems such as Blackboard.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in software solutions for education and secure video storage platforms. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in developing and maintaining such software can find substantial opportunities in similar tenders. The procurement method was designed to be inclusive for SMEs, providing an accessible opportunity for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the educational technology sector.

## Notice

University of Salford is a long standing user of Medial as a tactical video hosting solution. The product gives us a solution for the hosting of video content that can be safely and securely locked down to UoS Schools and subject area users or shared more widely when required, outside of University systems. The video material can be played back on any device. Medial has not been surpassed by other offerings due to this unique configuration in its deployment. Medial includes a deep LTI link with Blackboard to allow for videos to be deployed as teaching materials or submitted to assessments. The scale of the product is controlled by periodic archiving content in blob deep freeze storage in line with our retention guidelines. As an embedded solution within Blackboard we are seeking a 2 year renewal of the license so that we can keep continuity of delivery and enhance staff and student experience. Please send any questions to Matthew West, Ed Tech Systems and Processes Manager, DIT m.l.west@salford.ac.uk. For full information, please see attached document.
