## Summary

Kingston University Higher Education Corporation has concluded a public procurement process under the title "Student Accommodation System," focusing on software package and information systems. The procurement falls under the public authority - sub-central government classification and is associated with Kingston upon Thames in the United Kingdom. The process reached the award and contract stage, with critical dates including the contract signing on 3rd June 2025 and its duration lasting until 2nd June 2030. It was pursued through a direct award method, justified by the need for integration and migration of their existing RMS Mercury software to StarRez Ltd, which reflects technical reasons necessitating a single supplier.

This procurement opportunity, especially beneficial for large-scale software providers, creates a business growth avenue in the education sector focused on student accommodation services. Companies with expertise in migration and development of software integrated with student records systems might find this contract significant. With a direct award to StarRez Ltd, businesses specialising in bespoke software solutions and ongoing support for educational institutions are well-suited for similar tenders, enhancing their portfolio and market presence in the higher education industry.
