## Summary

The University of Keele procured a 12-month renewal of its MathWorks MATLAB site licence, providing campus-wide software access. This is a software licensing and renewal requirement within the software package and information systems category (CPV 48000000). Delivery is associated with the university in Newcastle, Staffordshire. The requirement was placed as a call-off from the SUPC SLRA framework, under its software licensing lot. The buyer is the University of Keele.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Academia Limited. The award was made on 22 August 2026 at £34,867.36. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, for a 12-month renewal. The estimated procurement value was also £34,867.36. The buyer used a selective call-off procedure from an existing framework agreement. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or lot-by-lot awards are recorded.

This award shows that the University of Keele buys a site-wide MATLAB licence renewal through a framework call-off, making software publishers and authorised resellers with access to the relevant framework route the most directly aligned competitors. Credible suppliers need to provide institution-wide licensing and manage a continuous annual renewal for a university environment. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller suppliers may be relevant where they can meet the framework and licensing requirements. The selected supplier, Academia Limited, is recorded as a large business, demonstrating that the requirement has also been met by a larger provider. The commercial opportunity centres on MATLAB licensing and servicing this buyer’s site-wide software requirement, rather than general software supply.
