## Summary

The University of the West of England procured a subscription to SITS, an educational software package, for use in Bristol. The purchase is classified as goods and covers the software subscription; no further functional scope is described. The contract was awarded to Tribal Education Limited. This is a university software requirement rather than a general education service or a wider technology project, so it is most relevant to suppliers that provide or support student information and higher-education administration software.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The University of the West of England used a below-threshold direct award without competition. Tribal Education Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its stated value is £159,010.68 excluding VAT (£190,812.82 including VAT). The procurement record gives no evaluation criteria or competitive assessment basis; the supplier was appointed directly.

This award shows that the university buys SITS subscription provision as a discrete software requirement, through a direct award below the procurement threshold. A credible future competitor would need to supply or support educational software suited to university administration and be able to meet the buyer’s subscription requirement. The selected supplier is a large education technology company, indicating that the requirement was met by an established provider, although the procurement does not state specific technical standards, accreditations, staffing requirements or service levels. Suppliers focused on unrelated software, general consultancy or education services are less closely aligned with this purchase.
