## Summary

The procurement process involves Oldbury College of Sport seeking ICT services through a tender for the provision of IT software, support, and maintenance services. This contract, valued at £731,249, was awarded on 12th August 2021 and involves cooperation between contracting authorities to enhance efficiency and service delivery associated with ICT systems. The procurement method utilised is a limited negotiated process, invoking extreme urgency as per regulatory guidelines, aimed at improving service provisions for educational needs within the UK, specifically in the Oldbury locality (UKG37).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those that can offer comprehensive software development, consulting, and support. Companies with capabilities in maintaining and installing ICT infrastructure should consider competing, as the contract's implementation allows for subcontracting opportunities. Given the emphasis on collaboration and resource sharing between contracting authorities, firms that can demonstrate innovative solutions and technical expertise in the education sector will likely be well-suited to thrive in this competitive bidding environment.

### Procurement Information

Cooperation between them will allow for a larger support resource with broader technical skills and facilitate the sharing of ideas and developments, which will go on to improve the service provided.

The activities in question are not performed by the contracting authorities on the open market, thereby meeting the test in regulation 12(7)(c).
