## Summary

The University of Sheffield has awarded a contract to Program Framework Limited for the provision of Power Framework Software and Support. The procurement falls under the "System and support services" category, with a specific focus on "Software support services". The contract is valued at £669,000 GBP and was signed on 30th August 2024. The procurement process was conducted through a limited procedure, specifically allowing for a direct award via the G-cloud 13 framework due to Program Framework's unique provision of the software, which is critical to the University's operations. The primary location for service delivery is Sheffield, identified by the region code UKE32.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity primarily for suppliers within the software support services industry, particularly those specialising in comprehensive system and support offerings. Companies with capabilities in providing bespoke or essential software solutions that are integral to client operations stand to benefit the most. Given that Program Framework Limited was awarded the contract without prior competition due to their exclusive provision, businesses with unique or superior proprietary solutions could see similar opportunities for growth by targeting niche, high-demand areas where direct awards are permissible.
