## Summary

The University of the West of England has completed a procurement process for the procurement titled "Gecko Capture," related to software-related services under the industry category of services. The process utilised a direct procurement method, made below the competition threshold, which signifies it did not require a competitive procedure. With a focus on the Bristol region (UKK12) in the United Kingdom, the contracting process bypassed typical competition standards and culminated in a contract award to GeckoLabs Limited, effective from 16 January 2026 until 15 January 2027. This award was made final on 4 February 2026 and reflects the procurement stage as 'award' having begun with the tender initiation.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software services to understand how smaller-scale and targeted procurement methods can facilitate partnerships with educational institutions. The use of direct procurement without competition signifies opportunities for companies familiar with navigating niche requirements under a quick and resource-efficient procurement process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in software-related services, particularly those based in or near the UKK12 region, might find familiar engagement opportunities with public authorities, such as the University of the West of England, through similar procurement paths.
