## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire procured an annual membership subscription to MillionPlus, a university membership organisation. The requirement is for subscription services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The membership is for the university; the procurement data does not describe particular services or benefits included in the subscription. The University of Bedfordshire is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, London Metropolitan University, is itself a university and is identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise. This is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described goods or works.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to London Metropolitan University. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract is valued at £25,254.17 excluding VAT, or £30,305 including VAT. The University of Bedfordshire used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The procurement comprised one lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis are recorded, and no eligibility conditions are stated. The outcome is the selection of London Metropolitan University for the annual MillionPlus membership subscription.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of Bedfordshire for an annual MillionPlus membership subscription, rather than a wider package of university services. A credible future competitor would need to be able to provide that membership subscription and meet the university’s requirement for ongoing access over an annual term. The contract was placed directly, without competition, so the recorded outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model or technical requirements beyond the subscription itself. London Metropolitan University, a university and a small and medium-sized enterprise, was selected. Suppliers with a relevant relationship to the MillionPlus membership offer and the ability to provide it to a higher education buyer are therefore the closest fit for this specific recurring requirement.
