## Summary

The University of the West of England has completed a public procurement process for its annual subscription to Universities UK, covering the period until 31st July 2025. The tender, categorised under Subscription Services (CPV: 79980000), was processed using a direct procurement method and valued at £44,467. The contract was active from 16th July 2024, with the award published on 23rd August 2024. This subscription service will be delivered in Bristol (BS16 1QY), and the procurement stage is currently at Award. The procurement was a single tender action below the threshold, aligning with the university's strategic requirements for continuous support from Universities UK.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses that specialise in subscription services, particularly those familiar with academic or educational institutions, to engage with a notable university. Whilst this specific contract was awarded through direct procurement, businesses that can demonstrate outstanding value and specialised support services may find similar opportunities for collaboration in future tenders. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in this sector, given the university’s alignment with SME suitability criteria.
