## Summary

Liverpool John Moores University, a public authority under sub-central government classification, recently completed a procurement process for awarding a careers platform designed to enhance career, employability, and start-up services for students and graduates. Located in Liverpool, UK, the University sought an open competition below the threshold, with the procurement process culminating in an award notice published on 31st March 2026. The tender was identified as LJMU 2525 and aimed to contract a provider for educational software packages that support career development. The awarded contract to GTI Futures Limited, an SME based in Wallingford, UK, is valued at £139,164 and spans from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029, with potential renewal contingent upon performance and budget availability.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those focused on educational and career advancement applications. The contract encompasses an educational software package, appealing to companies that provide tailored digital solutions for higher education institutions. Businesses that can offer innovative, user-friendly platforms to enhance employability and career development services are well-placed to compete for similar tenders in the future. SMEs especially benefit from this competition as the University showed preference to smaller enterprises by the final stage involvement of six SME bids, suggesting an environment conducive to collaboration with agile, specialised vendors. This could be a strategic entry point for technology firms aiming to expand their services within the public sector and educational institutions.
