## Summary

Swansea University procured a licence for Wolfram Mathematica, a computational software platform used in higher education for mathematical modelling, numerical and symbolic computation, data analysis, visualisation, programming and teaching. This is a software and information-systems purchase. The requirement is for the University’s Mathematica licence, supporting academic and teaching use across these activities. The named buying organisation is Swansea University, based in Swansea. The procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom but gives no more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Wolfram Research Europe Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £118,041.68 excluding VAT, or £141,650.02 including VAT. The process was a single-lot purchase. The available details do not set out an evaluation basis or specific participation requirements.

For suppliers competing for similar university requirements, this award shows demand for a licensed computational platform supporting mathematical modelling, numerical and symbolic computation, data analysis, visualisation, programming and teaching. A credible competitor would need to offer software that can serve these academic and teaching uses, together with the appropriate licensing provision for a university. Wolfram Research Europe Ltd, identified as an SME, won this purchase. The award was made directly without competition, so it does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or establish that particular technical accreditations, qualifications or delivery capacities were assessed. The scale is a multi-year institutional software licence rather than a one-off purchase. Suppliers should be able to meet the breadth of use across higher education while supporting the buyer’s licence requirement.
