## Summary

Cardiff University, located in Cardiff, UK, has undertaken a procurement process for the renewal of their Overleaf Commons subscription, a platform widely used in higher education for drafting documents. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Software package and information systems," with key dates including contract initiation on 27th March 2026 and an end date set for 22nd December 2026. This procurement process has reached the award stage with Digital Science UK Limited granted the contract via a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition, grounded in UK devolved regulations.

This tender presents a concentrated opportunity for businesses in the educational software sector, particularly those offering document drafting platforms or similar software solutions. While the contract has already been awarded to Digital Science UK Limited, potential suppliers in the software domain can gain insights into the needs and procurement methods of Cardiff University for future opportunities. Businesses with expertise in software solutions for academic institutions, especially those addressing the needs of students and researchers, would find themselves well-prepared to compete in similar procurement processes.
