## Summary

The University of Salford procured an online assessment platform to measure students’ understanding of sustainability. The assessment covers environmental and social challenges, systemic change and links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is intended to identify gaps in student knowledge, inform curriculum changes, evaluate sustainability education, compare cohorts over time, and support reporting for accreditation, rankings and wider impact claims. The purchase is software for student assessment and sustainability education. The University of Salford is the buyer, and delivery is in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Sulitest Impact. The University used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The award date was 24 September 2026. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs to 24 September 2029. Its value is £45,900 excluding VAT (£55,080 including VAT). The procurement was structured as one lot. The stated purpose and evaluation context are to measure students’ sustainability knowledge and use results to identify learning gaps, inform curriculum development, assess educational impact and support reporting. No separate scoring criteria are set out.

For suppliers assessing comparable future demand from the University of Salford, this award demonstrates a requirement for an online assessment tool focused specifically on sustainability knowledge among students. A credible competitor would need to assess understanding across environmental and social issues, systemic change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and produce results that can reveal knowledge gaps and support comparisons between student cohorts. The platform’s outputs should be useful for curriculum decisions and for evaluating the impact of sustainability education, as well as supporting accreditation, rankings and wider impact claims. Suppliers with a ready-to-use digital assessment product and the ability to provide meaningful, reportable results would be closest to the demonstrated requirement. The buyer selected a supplier through a direct award without competition, so the process provides no evidence of competitive scoring preferences.
