## Summary

Bath Spa University procured software and information-system services for its learning environment in the South West of England. The requirement was a 12-month Blackboard renewal, including the Direct Data Access Environment, an additional 1TB of Blackboard SaaS storage, a one-year Collaborate Enterprise user licence, the Blackboard Learning Core Package delivered through SaaS Plus, and the Anthology Ally package for Learn. This is a specialist education technology and cloud software support requirement, centred on maintaining and extending the university’s Blackboard platform rather than buying general-purpose IT equipment. The services support online learning, collaboration, data access, storage and accessibility-related functionality within the university’s digital learning environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to TET LIMITED on 31 July 2024. It was a selective call-off from the SBS /19/AB/WAB/9411 framework agreement, with the contract running from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The awarded value was £198,100.80 including the published currency of GBP. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was active. The available information identifies the framework call-off route and the successful supplier, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bath Spa University for a substantial, time-limited Blackboard and Anthology software service covering core learning-platform capability, collaboration, data access, storage and accessibility tools. Competitors seeking similar work would need demonstrable expertise in administering and supporting Blackboard SaaS environments, supplying the relevant Blackboard packages and licences, managing cloud storage and data-access arrangements, and supporting Collaborate and Anthology Ally functionality. They would also need the organisational capacity to maintain a university-wide learning service across the full requirement and to operate through the relevant education-sector framework route. The published suitability assessment indicates that this requirement was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should assess their scale and framework position carefully when preparing for comparable demand from this buyer.
