## Summary

Bath Spa University procured a digital platform for Target Connect, a system intended to help universities and colleges deliver careers, wellbeing, personal learning and other integrated professional support. The platform also enables employers to build their brand, enrich users’ experience and recruit. The procurement was for software and information systems, for use in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Bath Spa University. The published scope describes the platform’s purpose and user-facing functions, rather than detailing separate modules or implementation tasks.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to GTI Futures Limited, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. The contract value is £47,994 gross. There was one lot, covering the digital platform. The procurement is classified as goods, with software and information systems as the subject. No separate evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are stated in the published procurement information.

This award shows Bath Spa University’s demand for a digital platform that brings together careers, wellbeing, personal learning and related professional support, while allowing employers to promote their brand and recruit. Suppliers seeking to compete for this specific requirement in future would need a platform suited to university and college settings, able to support these integrated services and employer engagement. The selected supplier was an SME, demonstrating that delivery was within the reach of a smaller provider. The route used was a direct award without competition, so the outcome is evidence of the buyer’s purchasing choice, not a comparison of competing technical or commercial offers. Credibility would rest on demonstrating a close fit with the described platform purpose and ability to serve both institutional users and employers.
