## Summary

Coventry University procured a licence for Echo360, a software package used as an architecture tool by the university’s Digital Services Architecture team. The requirement covers the Echo360 software and its use at Coventry University, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Coventry University, a public authority based in Coventry. The procurement is categorised as goods and uses CPV 48000000, covering software packages and information systems. The selected supplier is Turning Tech Intermediate, Inc., trading as Echo360, a large US-based technology company. The requirement is a renewal of an established software arrangement rather than a new implementation, supporting the university’s existing digital architecture activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Turning Tech Intermediate, Inc. (dba Echo360) for the single lot. Coventry University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The stated basis was that Echo360 was the only supplier able to provide the architecture tool and that the cost and time of changing supplier would outweigh any savings from a competitive tender. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £64,200 gross, including the stated contract value. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Coventry University for a specialist software licence supporting digital services architecture. A future competitor would need to provide an equivalent architecture tool that integrates with or can replace the university’s existing Echo360 arrangement, while addressing the practical cost and disruption of migration. Credibility would depend on demonstrating comparable software functionality, reliable support for university digital services, and the ability to maintain continuity for an architecture team already using the platform. Suppliers should also be able to explain why their product offers sufficient technical and commercial benefit to justify change from the incumbent, rather than relying only on a lower licence price.

## Notice

This is a architecture tool used by Coventry University's Digital Services Architecture team that cannot be obtained from any other supplier. The value of the renewal is below the PS207,720.00 threshold for goods and services where a competitive tender or direct award against a framework or following the publication of a Transparency Notice and Contract Award Notice is required for 8x standstill working days. The cost and time of change for this renewal outweighs any savings that can be generated from a competitive tendering process.
