## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University procured Codio licences, a cloud-based educational software platform for teaching and assessing technical subjects. The service supports programming, data science, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity teaching. Its functionality includes browser-based coding environments, interactive learning content, automated assessment and grading, learner analytics, and integration with learning management systems. The licences support teaching and learning across the University. This is a software goods requirement, classified as an educational software package, with delivery for the University in Sheffield. The buying organisation is Sheffield Hallam University, an education body governed by public law. The requirement was structured as a single package covering the Codio platform and associated licence provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Sheffield Hallam University used a limited procedure with a direct award without a prior competition, under Lot 5 of the Software Licence Reseller & Consultancy Services ITS4052 framework. Academia Ltd was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded. The contract value is £31,020 including the published currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and is active. The stated evaluation basis was evenly split between quality and price, at 50% each. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active, so the active award and signed contract represent the procurement outcome.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a UK university for a specialist cloud learning platform serving technical disciplines, rather than general-purpose educational software. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to provide reliable browser-based coding environments, interactive technical learning content, automated marking and grading, learner analytics, and integration with existing learning management systems. Experience supporting university teaching and assessment across programming, data science, artificial intelligence or cybersecurity would strengthen credibility. The route used also shows the relevance of suppliers able to operate through an established software licensing framework or reseller arrangement, with the capability to manage licensing and implementation for an institutional customer. Strong evidence of product quality and competitive pricing would matter equally in evaluation.
