## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation involves the renewal of the "Papercut MF Print Management" service, designed for staff and students across the Portsmouth campus. This process, categorised under the goods industry, was initiated on 6th July 2026 and is complete. The procurement method was direct and conducted below the competition threshold for public authorities, leading to an award without an open tender. The associated contract, valued at £33,433.56, was awarded to XMA LIMITED and is set to be active from 19th July 2026 to 18th July 2029, operating within the region of UKJ31, United Kingdom.

This tender offers business growth opportunities mainly for suppliers specialising in print management and utility software, as these are essential services for educational institutions. Large businesses like XMA LIMITED, which provide comprehensive software packages and related goods, are particularly well-suited to compete for such direct procurement contracts. Suppliers capable of delivering robust and scalable print management solutions could leverage such contracts to expand their footprint in the educational sector, especially among higher education providers similar to the University of Portsmouth.
