## Summary

The Open University, located in Milton Keynes, UK, has recently completed a public procurement process for the renewal of licenses for the GDPR Preference software 'Cassie'. This procurement is categorised under software packages and information systems, aimed at ensuring continuity of service for their website estate. The purchase was made through a direct award to Syrenis Limited, a supplier based in Warrington, UK. This procurement method was justified by the exclusive intellectual property rights held by the supplier, and was valued at a total gross amount of £578,087. The contract, which covers the period from December 2025 to December 2028, includes an option to extend for a further two years, with the potential extension value approximately estimated at £387,490 ex VAT.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those involved in data protection and consent management systems. Organisations that can offer innovative alternatives or complementary systems to the Cassie software might find collaboration opportunities as market assessments and further procurement processes are anticipated.
