## Summary

Cardiff Metropolitan University has awarded a contract for a project titled "Doctoral Research Manager," which involves the provision of an administrative portal for managing doctoral researchers from enrolment to completion. This contract, categorised under the educational and administration software industry, is governed by the Welsh devolved regulations and primarily concerns the delivery of goods. Located in Cardiff, this procurement process was initiated directly without competition, as it is below the threshold. The status of the contract is active, having commenced on 1st August 2026 and set to conclude on 31st July 2027. The total gross contract value amounts to £54,000.
