## Summary

The University of the West of England has completed the procurement process for the renewal of their Corporate Web Content Management System. This tender falls under the industry category of software support services and covers the period from 22nd December 2024 to 21st December 2027. The procurement was conducted through a limited procedure, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to technical reasons. The supplier awarded is Sitecore UK Limited, and the contract was signed on 19th December 2024 for a value of £216,867.93. The location for the delivery of the services is in the UKK1 region.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in software support and web content management services. Although the procurement method limited competition, it underscores the necessity for suppliers to establish strong technical capabilities and demonstrate their unique value propositions. Businesses capable of providing specialised and reliable software solutions, particularly those familiar with the higher education sector, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Furthermore, this contract extension highlights the potential benefits of fostering long-term relationships with public sector institutions, offering continuity and expertise over extended periods.

### Procurement Information

This software solution was originally procured following a wider tender process for the implementation of a Web Transformation project at the University. The Sitecore software was identified by that process as the best fit for UWE's needs and a very competitively priced license was agreed. Going through a similar process to investigate alternative software vendors would require a similar scaled project and budget to achieve. As the UWE's ambitions have not changed within the project timescale are met by the current product, a tender to identify and implement an alternative would not offer significant advantages at this stage. The university has therefore negotiated rates for a further extension of 3 years with the current provider.
