## Summary

Coventry University procured software and information systems support for its Azure Integration Hub. Horton Cloud Solutions Inc is providing structured processes across the software development life cycle to support the hub’s build and enable the university to move from the Mulesoft platform to Azure. The requirement concerns software integration and platform transition rather than a standalone software licence. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Coventry University’s operations. The buyer is Coventry University, based in Coventry. The work is categorised as goods, with the underlying requirement focused on cloud integration capability, software development processes and migration between enterprise platforms. Suppliers with experience of Azure integration hubs, Mulesoft-to-Azure transitions and structured software delivery processes would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition because the buyer stated that the cost of change outweighed the savings expected from a competitive process. Horton Cloud Solutions Inc was selected for the single lot. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £132,000 excluding VAT, or £158,400 including VAT. The procurement was below the UK Government threshold of £207,720 including VAT. The contracting route was a below-threshold procedure without competition, rather than an open tender. The award covers software and information systems relating to the Azure Integration Hub and platform transition.

This award indicates a defined demand from Coventry University for specialist cloud integration and platform migration support. A credible future competitor would need practical experience building or extending Azure integration hubs, moving integrations from Mulesoft to Azure, and applying structured software development life-cycle processes. The requirement is suited to a supplier able to combine technical integration delivery with disciplined development, testing and transition activity, rather than one offering only general cloud hosting or off-the-shelf software. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable enterprise integration work, manage change between platforms and support a university-scale organisation through implementation. The incumbent is a large Canadian supplier, indicating that the buyer has used an established specialist provider for this type of work.

## Notice

Horton Cloud provide a combined structured processes within the Software Development Life Cycle to assist with the build of the university's Azure Integration Hub, which will allow the university to seamlessly transition from the Mulesoft platform to our Azure Platform. The cost of time of change is outweighed by any cost savings from a competitive procurement process. The value of the contract is below the UK Government threshold of PS207,720.00 including VAT.
