## Summary

The University of Essex, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a procurement process for a "Student Engagement Analytics System." This contract relates to the provision of Stream software, encompassing necessary support, maintenance, and potential upgrades over a 24-month period. Located in Colchester, the procurement was conducted under a direct award method, resulting in a contract awarded on 10th June 2026, with an active status. The contract, valued at £263,587, covers the software package and information systems sector, identified under the CPV code 48000000, and includes a contract period from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2028. The procurement was governed by the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54.

For businesses specialising in software and information systems, this procurement offers significant growth opportunities. Companies adept at providing comprehensive software solutions with associated support and maintenance would find themselves well-suited for such contracts. With the contract completed through a direct award, it highlights the importance of maintaining excellent pre-existing relationships and ensuring service offerings align closely with the University's needs. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) like Kortext Limited, which has been awarded the contract, demonstrate the viability for similar-sized enterprises to compete in this public procurement sector effectively.

## Notice

The contract is for provision of Stream software including support and maintenance and any essential upgrades. The contract is for 24 months.

### Procurement Information

The University has used the Stream system for 9 years. It is an essential part of the University's infrastructure which is intrinsically integrated with numerous business-critical systems. Changing such a core system would significantly impact operational activities and involve substantial change at a time when the University is already undertaking a major, complex digital transformation programme. The University has decided to continue with the current system until the digital transformation has been completed in order to optimise spend and resources. Therefore, at the present time it would be impossible for the University to procure an alternative provider to provide the full range of services without detrimentally impacting the wider operations of the University.
