## Summary

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract for the renewal of the Echo360 Lecture Capture Licence, valued at £131,000. This procurement falls under the category of industry-specific software packages and is relevant to the education sector. The contract period commenced on 1st August 2020 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2021. The procurement method employed was a direct award, specifically a single tender action due to limitations posed by Covid-19, which prevented a broader tendering process.

This contract presents an opportunity for software vendors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage with a prominent educational institution. Given the growing demand for digital learning solutions, companies specialising in educational technology and software packages would find this tender particularly relevant. Firms with the capability to provide similar software solutions might find avenues for partnership or competition, enhancing their business footprint in the education sector.

## Notice

The University made a direct award to Echo360 for license renewal for its existing Lecture Capture System. No suitable framework agreements were identified at the time and retenderering was not an option due to Covid-19 restrictions meaning staff unavailablilty to either tender or replace the incumbent.
