## Summary

The University of Worcester procured a one-year renewal of its Panopto platform subscription. Panopto is a software platform used for recording, managing and sharing video and related learning content, so the requirement concerns software and information systems rather than implementation works or general IT support. The buying organisation is the University of Worcester, based at Henwick Grove in Worcester. The procurement covers the university’s requirement for the Panopto platform across the United Kingdom and associated wider delivery locations stated for the requirement. It is classified as goods, reflecting the subscription and software access being purchased. The requirement is specific to renewing the existing Panopto platform rather than acquiring a broad range of software products or an unspecified digital service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure. The submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at noon, and the award was made on 20 July 2026. Softcat Limited was selected for an award of £61,258. The awarded contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 July 2027. The tender itself describes the intended subscription period as mid-July 2026 to mid-July 2027, while the recorded award period gives the operative dates above. The award is active. Evaluation was conducted through the restricted procurement route; the available information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the University of Worcester for continued access to the Panopto platform through a managed software subscription. Competitors would need to provide the Panopto product itself, or have the relevant supplier or reseller relationship and authorisation to supply it, together with the commercial and administrative capacity to support a university account. The restricted procedure and the buyer’s assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicate a market position favouring established software providers, distributors or larger technology resellers. Businesses tracking this buyer should focus on higher-education video and learning-platform requirements, understand Panopto licensing and renewal models, and be prepared to evidence reliable subscription fulfilment at university scale.
