## Summary

The University of Sheffield has completed the procurement process for the provision of the Power Framework Software and associated support, directly awarding the contract to Program Framework Limited via the G-cloud 13 framework. This selective procurement, categorized under software package and information systems (CPV 48000000), with additional relevance to software support services (CPV 72261000), is essential for the daily operations of the University and will see services delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £669,000, commenced on 2nd September 2024 and is set to end on 1st September 2027. The tender period concluded on 30th August 2024, and the award was finalised on 1st September 2024.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in software and IT support services. Program Framework Limited, a large-scale supplier, was deemed suitable due to their exclusive ownership and previous provision of the required system. Businesses with expertise in developing, customising, and supporting information systems are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, especially those that can demonstrate a proven track record of delivering critical software solutions to academic institutions or similar organisations. While this specific tender is not open to SMEs or VCSEs, it illustrates the high-value engagements available within the UK's procurement landscape.
