## Summary

Coventry University, located in Coventry, United Kingdom, has awarded a contract for "Oracle database licences" as part of maintaining and supporting their core business platforms. This procurement process falls under the sub-central government public authority category. The procurement was completed using the "direct" method, specifically under the "Below threshold - without competition" process. The contract commenced on 2nd August 2026 and will conclude on 1st August 2027, with a signed value of £142,872.76, excluding VAT. The award was made on 8th June 2026, with Oracle Corporation, based in Berkshire, United Kingdom, identified as the supplier.

This tender opens growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing high-quality software packages, particularly those experienced with Oracle systems. Organisations specialising in information systems and able to navigate non-competitive procurement processes may find this opportunity particularly beneficial. Larger companies with established capabilities in providing enterprise software solutions and support services would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tendering activities. This engagement not only reinforces a partnership with a prominent educational institution but also places successful suppliers in a favourable position for related procurements in the technology category within the public sector.

## Notice

Oracle is used to support the majority of our core business platforms, including GFS, CHRIS & UNIVERSE. The Oracle licences are directly related to our Staff HESA return and require annual renewal to maintain licences and support.
