## Summary

The Coventry University has awarded a contract to Salesforce UK Ltd for the provision of Salesforce licensing software package. This procurement falls under the goods category and utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £7,112,475.03 GBP, was signed on July 4, 2023. The selection of suppliers was limited to Salesforce due to exclusive rights and intellectual property considerations. The procurement related to the ongoing Student Engagement Program and is crucial for the university's operations.

This tender for Salesforce licensing creates opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages and license management. Companies with expertise in providing software solutions and services may find this tender relevant for business growth opportunities. As the University directly procures from Salesforce, understanding the specific requirements and constraints of such exclusive contracts can be advantageous for businesses aiming to compete in similar limited procurement scenarios.

## Notice

The selection of potential suppliers for Salesforce licensing at Coventry University is significantly limited to a single supplier, as the university's procurement of Salesforce licensing can only be conducted directly through Salesforce. * There is a certain level of sensitivity associated with the contract between Coventry University and Salesforce. Specifically, some research and development (R&D) as well as intellectual property (IP) have been developed for Coventry University on the Salesforce platform for the previously tendered Student Engagement Program. * This aligns with the ongoing Student Engagement Program, which was previously tendered, and the licensing agreement was signed for a period of three years, until the renewal date of July 2023. The current situation entails an extension of that agreement. Due to the urgency of requiring licensing to continue this service, the University does not have the time to assess the market for alternative options at this time. * It is crucial for Coventry University to secure the licenses directly, as without them, the university will be unable to utilise the Salesforce platform for the Student Engagement Program
