## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation procured renewal of its Zoom licensing agreement to maintain continuity of service for university activity. The requirement covered communication and multimedia software, including licences supporting teaching, hybrid learning, student engagement and administration. Required functionality included online meetings, cloud recording storage, whiteboards, transcription, scheduling, AI Companion, single sign-on, branding, managed domains and other collaboration tools. The services are for the University of Portsmouth in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. This is a software licensing and renewal requirement rather than a new technology implementation, construction project or general consultancy service. It would suit suppliers providing institutional Zoom licensing and associated collaboration-platform administration for higher-education environments.

The procurement is complete and was handled as a limited, below-threshold call-off from the SUPC ITS4052SU SLRA Framework, using an award procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated evaluation criterion was price. The contract was awarded to Academia Limited, with one bid recorded, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 for £167,817.29 including the published currency of GBP. The tender title describes a Zoom licence renewal, and the procurement was intended to ensure service continuity when the existing licence expired. The published lot is marked cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active; businesses should therefore treat the recorded outcome as the operative position.

For suppliers assessing future demand, this procurement demonstrates a university-scale requirement for recurring Zoom licensing covering both core communications and specialist collaboration features. A credible competitor would need access to the relevant Zoom licensing route, the ability to support a large higher-education organisation, and experience maintaining continuity across teaching, hybrid learning, student-facing and administrative use. Capability should extend beyond meeting licences to cloud recording, whiteboards, transcription, scheduling, AI-assisted functions, single sign-on, branding and managed domains. Suppliers should also be able to work within a public-sector framework call-off and compete primarily on price. The incumbent award to Academia Limited shows that established software licensing providers can satisfy this type of institutional requirement.
