## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire procured database support services for Oracle and SQL Server. The requirement covers ongoing technical support and consultancy for these database platforms, including associated network-server support. It is a technology services contract rather than a supply of physical server equipment. The buyer is based at University Square, Luton, and the services are for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was organised as a single requirement. It is relevant to database specialists, managed service providers and IT consultancies with practical experience supporting Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server environments, particularly where they can also advise on the supporting server infrastructure.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. The University of Bedfordshire used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. Pro DBA Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026. The award value is £34,686.27 excluding VAT, or £41,623.53 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. One lot was awarded. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 1 September 2026. The award was for services, with the requirement classified under network servers and computer support and consultancy services. The selected supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise.

This award shows that the University of Bedfordshire buys specialist, ongoing support for Oracle and SQL Server databases alongside related server support. A credible future competitor would therefore need demonstrable capability across both database technologies, rather than expertise in only one platform. Relevant providers are likely to be IT consultancies or managed service firms able to deliver technical support and computer consultancy, understand network-server environments, and sustain service over a university contract. The successful supplier's classification as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise also indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business, not only by a large systems integrator. Experience supporting institutional or similarly complex database environments would strengthen a future proposition.
