This tender, classified under software-related services (CPV code 72260000) and paper stationery (CPV codes 30199000 and 30199300), was conducted through an open procedure. The procurement covers the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the contract period spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. Significant dates included the end of the tender period on 28 February 2025 and the award date on 3 February 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those providing secure digital solutions, as well as suppliers of secure paper products. The University of Exeter sought verification solutions that can maintain the accuracy and security of academic awards and data. Companies that can deliver high-quality, innovative, and secure solutions stand to benefit and grow by participating in such tenders. The open procurement method maximised participation, making this contract suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) eager to expand their technological and logistical offerings in the educational sector.
