## Summary

The University of Birmingham recently completed a procurement process for a 12-month contract titled "Contract Award - Splunk SIEM Solution" valued at £161,672.50. The procurement, which fell under the goods category and was based on industry-specific software packages (CPV code 48100000), progressed through a direct award methodology from the SUPC's SLRA Lot 4. The contract's effective period commenced on 29 January 2021 and extended through to 28 January 2022, with the tender period concluding on 28 January 2021.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT solutions and software services, particularly those with a focus on security information and event management (SIEM). Companies that provide relevant software packages or have the capability to deliver similar solutions would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders for services sought by educational institutions and public sector entities. The inclusivity of SMEs in this process underscores a broader aim to foster a diverse supplier base in public procurement.
