Categorised under the "Software package and information systems" industry, the procurement stage is "Award" with a contract period beginning on 1st August 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2027. The total contract value amounts to £254,297.17 (gross), reflecting the university's strategic reliance on Bloomberg's unique data services for enhancing educational delivery and employability skills in financial sectors. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational technology and financial data systems to explore partnership or consultancy roles with public institutions like Coventry University. Businesses with expertise in software solutions tailored to academic settings, particularly those focused on equipping students with industry-ready skills, would find it advantageous to align themselves with such initiatives. With the university's strong emphasis on practicum-based support through the Bloomberg Terminal, companies offering complementary educational tools and services stand to benefit from similar procurement processes in the future. ## Notice Bloomberg are the only supplier to provide this service and content. Bloomberg is a strategically important resource for Coventry University London and Coventry and is embedded across several finance-related programmes, including MBA Finance, MSc Financial Technology, MSc Economics and Banking, MSc Global Finance, and BSc Financial Economics and Banking. The platform supports teaching, assessment, dissertation research, and employability development by providing students with access to real-time financial market data, company information, risk management tools, economic indicators, and analytics. Bloomberg is particularly valuable for modules involving financial analysis, investment management, risk management, big data, machine learning, and research methods, where students are required to source and analyse professional-grade financial data. Students are introduced to Bloomberg throughout their studies and are encouraged to complete the Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) certification to enhance their industry readiness. The Bloomberg Terminal remains a key differentiator of our finance provision and plays an important role in ensuring that students develop the practical, data-driven skills expected by employers in the financial services sector. The licence quantity has been reviewed and reduced in previous years - x7 licences for Coventry and x3 licences for London remain the appropriate number required. ### Procurement Information Bloomberg are the only supplier to provide this service and content.
