## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College procured Blackboard Ally software licences and associated services. Blackboard Ally is software used to improve the accessibility of digital learning materials. The purchase is described as a supply of software licences with related services, rather than a wider technology programme. Delivery is in the South East of England. The procurement was made through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. The requirement therefore relates to supplying and supporting this specific educational software through an established public-sector framework route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TET Limited on 25 August 2026. The award value is £189,312. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 26 August 2031. The procurement used the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026. The recorded procurement method is described only as “Other”; no further procedure detail is provided. The purchase is a single requirement for the software licences and associated services. No separate award evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be summarised.

For suppliers tracking repeat demand at Royal Holloway, this award shows a requirement for Blackboard Ally licences together with associated services, delivered through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. A credible competitor would need to supply or resell the relevant software and provide the related services required to support its use in a university setting. Familiarity with accessibility software for digital learning materials and with public-sector framework purchasing would be relevant. The awarded supplier was a large business, and the buyer recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This points to a scale and route that may favour suppliers able to meet framework conditions and deliver an established software product with supporting services.
