## Summary

The University of the West of England is procuring an academic multiphysics software solution from Ansys UK Limited. The requirement covers Ansys software licensing for campus use, including LAN, STL and ACS access, supporting analytical, scientific, mathematical and forecasting work. This is a software supply and licensing requirement rather than construction or consultancy. The service is for the university’s operations in Bristol, at the Frenchay Campus, and supports users who need engineering, scientific or mathematical simulation tools. Businesses operating in academic software licensing, multiphysics modelling, engineering simulation or related scientific software provision would find the subject matter relevant. The requirement is focused on supplying a named Ansys academic campus solution rather than a general IT service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ansys UK Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, with an award recorded as active. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027. Its value is £24,230 excluding VAT, or £29,076 including VAT. The award covers one lot and one software licensing requirement. The procurement concerns analytical, scientific, mathematical or forecasting software, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The arrangement is a lease and licence for campus network access, including LAN, STL and ACS elements, for the University of the West of England.

This award demonstrates a university requirement for institution-wide academic access to specialist multiphysics and engineering simulation software, delivered through campus network licensing. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would need a strong portfolio of scientific, mathematical or engineering software, the ability to provide academic or campus-wide licensing, and the technical capability to support networked access for multiple university users. Credibility would also come from experience supplying higher-education institutions, understanding academic licensing models, and supporting software used for analytical and forecasting purposes. Software publishers, authorised resellers and licensing specialists with established relationships in the education sector are the most relevant competitors. The requirement indicates demand for a defined product ecosystem rather than generic software procurement.
