## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire procured database support services covering Oracle and SQL Server systems. The requirement is for ongoing technical support and consultancy for database platforms, with associated computer and network server support. The contracting authority is the University of Bedfordshire, based in Luton, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply of hardware or a construction project. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses with experience supporting Oracle and SQL Server databases, together with the ability to provide dependable operational support and consultancy, are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One supplier was selected for the single lot: Pro DBA Limited. The award value is £34,686.27 excluding VAT, or £41,623.53 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The requirement was evaluated and arranged as a direct award rather than an open or competitive tender. The award covers computer support and consultancy services and network server-related services. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 13 August 2026. The published outcome records Pro DBA Limited as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that the University of Bedfordshire buys specialist database support as a defined, standalone service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in both Oracle and SQL Server environments, including ongoing support, troubleshooting, maintenance and technical consultancy. Relevant experience of supporting live university or similarly complex organisational systems would strengthen a bid, as would the capacity to provide reliable service across database and related server infrastructure. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that the buyer’s requirement can be met by a specialist provider rather than only by a large systems integrator. Evidence of responsive support and practical database expertise would therefore be important.
