## Summary

This procurement process involves Coventry University, based in Coventry, England, seeking IT services related to the legacy management of their Moodle instances. The tender, titled "Management of legacy Moodle," falls under the IT services category and necessitates consulting, software development, and support. The procurement process has transitioned to the award stage, with the contract being directly awarded to Catalyst IT Europe Ltd on 11th May 2024. The contract period is scheduled from 7th August 2024 to 6th August 2025, with the total contract value amounting to £56,310 GBP. The procurement method used is a single tender action, considered below the threshold for more extensive competitive processes, and is categorised primarily as a service-oriented procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those adept in managing and supporting educational software like Moodle. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) would find this contract especially beneficial due to the scale and nature of the work involved, which involves migrating and maintaining legacy systems. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity for growth by showcasing their technical capabilities and potentially securing further contracts for similar services. The focus on cost-saving through infrastructure optimisation and ongoing support services would suit businesses with expertise in cost-efficient IT solutions.

## Notice

Catalyst are working with us to scale back and finally de-commission the Moodle related services they historically provided for us. Thus there is no scope to tender for another vendor to do this work. There are two elements, one to move legacy Moodle instances to their newer but cheaper infrastructure, make them read only and only available certain times of the week making a substantial saving on our AWS bill. The second cost are the support services required to maintain this for as long as we wish to retain the archive.
