## Summary

The University of the West of England procured an Educational Recording Agency licence for higher education use. This is a subscription service providing the institution with the rights covered by the licence, rather than a conventional supply, construction or delivery project. The requirement is associated with the university’s operations in Bristol and the wider South West of England. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification code 79980000 for subscription services. Educational Recording Agency Limited was selected as the supplier. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that specialist subscription, licensing or rights-management businesses of modest scale may be relevant to comparable requirements from this buyer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an other procedure. The award was made to Educational Recording Agency Limited on 29 July 2026. The awarded value is £79,585.82 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027, covering the Educational Recording Agency licence for higher education. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 5pm. There was one service requirement covering the South West of England, and the tender had a total estimated value of £79,585.82. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome therefore records a single selected supplier for the full requirement.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined higher-education demand for Educational Recording Agency licensing through the University of the West of England. A credible future supplier would need to provide the relevant educational recording rights or an equivalent subscription service, understand licensing for higher-education institutions, and manage the administrative and compliance requirements associated with institutional use. The successful supplier is an SME, so the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large corporate provider. Businesses with established rights-holder relationships, reliable subscription administration, clear licence terms and experience supporting universities would be well placed to compete when this buyer next reviews the requirement. Knowledge of the South West higher-education market and the ability to support users across the institution would also strengthen their position.
