## Summary

The University of Exeter purchased campus-wide access to The MathWorks Ltd software suite. This is a software package and information systems requirement, covering use across the university rather than a single department or project. The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, a public authority based in Exeter. Delivery and use are in the United Kingdom. The appointed supplier is The MathWorks Limited, a software company based in Cambridge. The requirement is relevant to businesses that provide, license or support mathematical, engineering, scientific, technical or related institutional software suites, particularly where access must be made available across a university campus. The procurement concerns goods in the form of software, rather than software development, consultancy, construction or physical equipment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of Exeter used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The contract was awarded to The MathWorks Limited for £110,179 excluding VAT, or £132,214.80 including VAT. The award covers the single software requirement and its associated lot. The contract is active. The recorded purchasing route was a direct award rather than an open or competitive tender, so the commercial outcome reflects a procurement made without competing bids. The selected supplier is The MathWorks Limited.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand at the University of Exeter for institution-wide access to a specialist software suite. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide software suitable for broad university use, support campus-wide access arrangements and offer a licensing model that can serve multiple users or departments. Relevant strengths would include a proven institutional software product, experience supplying higher-education organisations, reliable user access and the operational capacity to support a university-wide deployment. Suppliers should also understand that this buyer used a direct, below-threshold route for the requirement, and that the incumbent is the software publisher itself. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to comparable publishers or authorised providers with an established education-sector offer.
