## Summary

The University of Kent, a sub-central government public authority based in Canterbury, has initiated a procurement process for the renewal of the CMIS timetabling system. This process involves the direct award of a contract to ONEADVANCED LIMITED for the provision of software licenses and support services. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract period set to commence on 14th May 2026 and conclude on 30th April 2029. The procurement method was a direct award, reflecting the integration of the system into the university's existing IT estate and strategic planning aligned with an upcoming merger. This tender falls under the category of goods, specifically for license management software, with a contract value of £289,820 excluding VAT.

This procurement opens up significant business growth opportunities for suppliers specialising in IT solutions, particularly those with expertise in educational software systems and license management. Large-scale enterprises capable of providing robust support and integration services would be particularly well-suited for similar future opportunities, especially in the context of educational institutions undergoing strategic integrations or expansions. The University of Kent's direct procurement method highlights a preference for continuity and stability in its IT infrastructure, indicating potential future engagements for suppliers capable of maintaining and evolving existing systems.
