## Summary

The University of East Anglia has concluded a procurement process titled "Pure Saas Agreement" under the direct award method, with the process reaching the completed stage by 23rd July 2026. This procurement, targeting the IT and database management systems industry, is poised to renew licensing and support elements for Pure, their cloud-based Research Management System. The procurement process is categorised under goods, with Elsevier BV serving as the exclusive supplier, which highlights the unique technical reasons dictated by the integration of Pure with numerous internal systems. The contractual agreement extends from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2030, predominantly situated within the UKH15 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in database management systems and cloud-based solutions, especially those capable of integrating complex technological ecosystems. Elsevier BV, a large-scale enterprise, is particularly suited to execute such a detailed integration service owing to their proprietary development of the Pure system. While this specific opportunity was targeted through direct procurement without a competitive bid due to its specialised nature, other firms looking to deliver or support similarly complex technological products with exclusive offerings might find related opportunities in subcontracting roles or future expansions within such domains.

## Notice

Pure is UEA's Research Management System. Following a recent migration to the cloud this exemption is required to renew Pure hosting environments, licencing and support elements. Pure is a core component of UEA's REF strategy and submission and powers a public facing website showcasing UEA research, staff profiles and publications.
