## Summary

The University of Bedfordshire bought Oracle and SQL Server database support services, including support relating to database servers and associated computer support and consultancy. The work supports the university’s use of these database platforms. The supplier was Pro DBA Limited. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement identifies no more specific delivery place. This is a specialist IT support requirement centred on maintaining and assisting with Oracle and SQL Server database environments, rather than a general-purpose IT services contract. It is relevant to providers with experience supporting these database systems and the technical capability to deliver database support for a university buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Pro DBA Limited. The University of Bedfordshire used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £34,686.27 excluding VAT, or £41,623.53 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the database support requirement. The published information identifies no separate evaluation criteria: the supplier was selected through the non-competitive direct award route. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at the University of Bedfordshire for ongoing support of Oracle and SQL Server databases, including related server and computer support. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement when it next comes to market would need credible, hands-on capability across both database platforms and the ability to provide dependable specialist support in a university environment. Experience maintaining database services and supporting the underlying server infrastructure would be directly relevant. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this contract, so the route used here did not test competing bids; suppliers should not assume that this award establishes a competitive evaluation model for a future requirement.
