## Summary

The University of the West of England procured renewal and support for its Uniprint licence, a licence management software package. The requirement was shared under reference UPSA0001 and supports the university’s printing-related software arrangements. The buying organisation is the University of the West of England, based at Frenchay Campus in Bristol. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was for goods, specifically software licensing and associated support, rather than construction, consultancy or general IT services. The requirement relates to maintaining an existing software licence and support arrangement, so suppliers with relevant licence management software products and the ability to support an established university customer would be most closely aligned with the procurement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. EMOS INFORMATION SYSTEMS LIMITED was awarded the contract, which was signed on 20 July 2026. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £36,095 excluding VAT, or £43,314 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than an open competitive tender, so there was no competitive bid process to compare. The recorded outcome is a single supplier providing the Uniprint licence renewal and support for the University of the West of England.

This award is useful market evidence for software vendors and specialist IT suppliers serving universities or other organisations with established printing and licence-management systems. A credible future competitor would need to provide the relevant Uniprint licence or an authorised route to supply it, together with dependable ongoing support for an existing installation. The procurement also indicates that the buyer may use a direct, below-threshold route for a continuation requirement, making supplier status, product ownership or authorisation, service continuity and familiarity with the customer’s current environment commercially important. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large technology integrator.
