## Summary

De Montfort University, located in Leicester, United Kingdom, has recently completed a procurement process to secure online academic support services through a "Provision of Studiosity Services Agreement". The direct award was given to Studiosity Pty Ltd, an Australian-based company, due to the lack of competition for the required services. The procurement is governed by the UK Procurement Act 2023, and involved a total contract value of £1,196,390. The contract commenced on 5th September 2025 and will initially run until 31st July 2026, with options to extend annually until 2030.
