## Summary

Oxford Brookes University has bought the SAE Mobilus Academic Package, an online resource for use by its students and staff. The purchase covers database software and database-management functionality, providing access to SAE Mobilus as an academic resource. The work is categorised as goods rather than a service or construction project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Oxford Brookes University. SAE International is the selected supplier. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of specialist academic information platforms and database products, particularly those serving engineering or technical education users; the published scope identifies the resource and its intended university users, rather than a wider package of IT or library services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active; Oxford Brookes University selected SAE International. The university used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The requirement was handled as one lot. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from that date until 5 May 2029. Its value is £49,244 including tax. The award is for the SAE Mobilus Academic Package, with database software and database-management system classifications. No award evaluation basis is stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates a defined university requirement for an online academic resource serving both students and staff, and shows that Oxford Brookes has purchased the SAE Mobilus package directly from its specialist provider. Suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement should be able to offer a focused technical and academic database resource, with content and functionality suitable for institutional access by students and staff. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that delivery at institutional scale was achieved through an established provider. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its platform meets the university’s academic user needs and can be supplied as a complete resource, rather than proposing general database software or unrelated university IT services.
