## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University purchased a two-year, campus-wide MathWorks software subscription for teaching, learning and non-commercial academic research. The requirement provides an Academic Total Headcount Campus-Wide licence, giving authorised university faculty, staff, researchers and students access to MATLAB, Simulink and associated products included in the Campus-Wide Suite. It also covers software maintenance, product updates and technical support throughout the licence term. This is a software package and information systems requirement (CPV 48000000), delivered for Sheffield Hallam University in Sheffield. The buyer is a public university and the requirement is centred on supplying and supporting a named software suite rather than developing bespoke software or providing general IT services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to MathWorks Ltd. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the applicable UK legislation. The single lot is complete. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £119,612 excluding VAT and £143,534.40 including VAT. The active contract covers the campus-wide software subscription, associated products, maintenance, updates and technical support. The outcome indicates that Sheffield Hallam University selected the software publisher or an authorised provider able to supply the specified MathWorks Campus-Wide Suite directly, rather than evaluating competing bids against published criteria.

This procurement shows established demand from Sheffield Hallam University for institution-wide academic engineering and mathematical software, with support wrapped into the licence. A credible future competitor would need strong capability in software licensing for universities, campus-wide or headcount-based access models, and the supply of MATLAB, Simulink and related products. It would also need to provide reliable maintenance, product updates and technical support for a large and varied user base spanning teaching, learning, staff activity, research and students. Experience serving higher education customers, understanding non-commercial academic use, and managing licence entitlement and user access at institutional scale would be commercially relevant. The direct, non-competitive route also demonstrates the importance of holding the required publisher rights or an authorised supply channel.
