The contracting authority, University of East Anglia, is located in Norwich, UKH15. The procurement aims to ensure the proper functioning of the SITS system, a core service for UEA. The contract, valued at £3,227,919 GBP, was signed on 1st August 2022. This opportunity would be beneficial for businesses providing software programming and consultancy services, especially those with experience in student information systems. As the buyer has determined a specific provider, Tribal Education Limited, due to significant inter-operability requirements, businesses considering similar services may find future opportunities in similar contracts where specialised expertise is crucial for service continuity and operational resilience. ## Notice This is a contract for the provision of a student information ("SITS") system for the University of East Anglia ("UEA"). Tribal Education Limited has been providing the service to UEA for a number of years and the proper and uninterrupted functioning of UEA's SITS system is vital to the institution. The current SITS system, provided by Tribal Education Limited, is now running as an unsupported version due to contract expiration. It is therefore paramount that SITS support is obtained, to negate the risk currently borne due to use of an unsupported system. Following market research, UEA is of the opinion that its requirements can only be met by Tribal Education Limited. UEA has therefore contracted with Tribal Education Limited for the support and maintenance of its SITS service to ensure that it receives the latest update from Tribal, to a cloud based system, which will be fully supported to provide operational resilience to UEA for this core service. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a contract for the provision of a student information ("SITS") system for the University of East Anglia ("UEA").

It follows that UEA has concluded that there is no reasonable alternative or substitute and this absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022064-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £3,227,919 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF EAST ANGLIA | | Locality | NORWICH | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR4 7TJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH51 Norwich and East Norfolk | | Local authority | Norwich | | Electoral ward | University | | Westminster constituency | Norwich South | | Delivery location | TLH15 Norwich and East Norfolk | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TRIBAL EDUCATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72200000 - Software programming and consultancy services ## Release History - 10 Aug 2022 at 15:37 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022064-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.uea.ac.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
