## Summary

Cardiff University procured an electronic quality management system, classified as software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The requirement is for a digital system to support the university’s quality management activities. It is a goods procurement, with the system delivered for use in Cardiff. Cardiff University is the buying organisation and is subject to Welsh devolved procurement regulations. The awarded supplier, Ideagen Gael Limited, provides the relevant software solution. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to software vendors and implementation partners specialising in electronic quality management, governance, compliance or related information systems for higher education and other complex public organisations. The requirement concerns a complete software product rather than general professional services or physical works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a single lot. Cardiff University used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and awarded to Ideagen Gael Limited. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £110,459 excluding VAT, or £132,550.80 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies Ideagen Gael Limited as the supplier for the electronic quality management system. The process is below threshold and was conducted under the legal basis recorded for the procurement.

This award demonstrates Cardiff University’s demand for an established electronic quality management system and shows that it is willing to use a below-threshold direct award without competition for this type of requirement. Suppliers considering future work with the university should be able to provide a complete, supportable software platform for quality management, with sufficient organisational capacity for a large higher-education customer. Credibility will depend on demonstrating that the system can handle institutional governance, quality processes, information management and ongoing operational support in a public university environment. Software businesses with comparable public-sector or higher-education implementations, a robust delivery and support model, and the ability to maintain the platform over a multi-year contract would be well placed when this requirement is next considered.
