## Summary

The University of the West of England procured a Harmony Premium institutional subscription, described as a service running through the end of August 2027. The requirement is for a premium software subscription, classified as a licence management software package (CPV 48218000). The delivery location is in the South West of England; the buyer is based in Bristol. This is a software licensing requirement rather than a purchase of physical equipment or general IT support. The named subscription and institutional scope indicate that the service is intended for use at university level.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Animation Associates Ltd. The award date was 5 June 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £22,109.50. The stated estimated tender value is also £22,109.50. The submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 5pm. The procurement method is recorded as “Other - SS”; no further procedural detail is available in the stated method. The published information identifies the buyer, supplier, subscription requirement and contract period, but does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed eligibility requirements. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from the University of the West of England, this award demonstrates demand for a premium, institution-wide software subscription rather than a bespoke development or implementation project. A credible competitor would need to supply the named Harmony Premium subscription and support institutional licensing for a university user base. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of subscription was delivered by an SME. Experience in licensing or supplying comparable software subscriptions, and the ability to manage institutional access for the required subscription term, would be relevant strengths. The award provides a direct example of the buyer’s purchasing route for this specific software need; it does not establish demand for unrelated IT services or products.
