## Summary

Coventry University has awarded a contract extension for the Criticalarc Safezone Security System Agreement under a single tender action. This procurement process falls under the industry-specific software package category, focusing on security services, with a direct procurement method for an amount of £108,750 GBP. The contract, initially in effect from 2020 and set to expire in 2023, has been extended for a further three years until 2026 to maintain continuity in their health and safety/security processes. The buyer and main location for this contract is Coventry University, located in Coventry, England, postal code CV1 5FB. The key dates involved include the contract start date on 14th September 2023 and the end date on 14th September 2026.

This tender creates significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in security software solutions. As the project has been deemed critical to the university's operations and integration processes, businesses with experience in providing robust, industry-specific software packages are well-positioned to compete. With minimal disruptions preferred by the university, suppliers that can demonstrate stability, capability, and a history of seamless integrations will likely have a competitive edge. Opportunities like these aid in sustained engagement with prominent educational institutions, a vital expansion aspect for developing businesses.

## Notice

The SafeZone contract has been in effect since 2020, initially signed as a 3-year contract set to expire in 2023. This STAF is for a 3-year extension to the same terms. The decision to renew was reviewed with DS; an extension is required whilst we seek to develop internal capacity to replace this tool. It has taken time to embed SafeZone into our H&S/security processes; to change providers as this point would be disruptive
