## Summary

The procurement process involves the University of Sheffield, which has awarded a contract for "2735/SSA/MH Oracle License Maintenance" under the category of software maintenance and repair services. The contract is valued at £198,108 and is part of a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The contract will commence on 24th November 2020 and will run for one year until 23rd November 2021. The procurement stage has been completed, with the award officially published on 16th November 2020.

This tender presents opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in software maintenance and those capable of providing Oracle-related services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Given the University's reliance on Oracle, companies with experience in Oracle products and services will find themselves well-positioned to compete for future opportunities, potentially expanding their client base within the educational sector and beyond.

## Notice

This was a contract derived under Regulation 32, 2 (b) (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations of 2015, where competition could not be obtained. This contract is for a 1 year annual maintenance of our existing Oracle Licenses. We use Oracle for many application where moving away from Oracle was not a possibility for both cost and time considerations. The use of resellers was considered and is a possibility, however those approached advised us they wouldn't quote as they couldn't compete with Oracle directly.
