The university, located in Glasgow, UK, selected Oracle as the supplier for a 3-year support contract for Oracle Database and Application systems. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication. The contract value amounts to £516,181.70 GBP, and it was signed on September 22, 2023. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses providing IT support services, particularly those experienced in Oracle technologies, to engage with Glasgow Caledonian University on a significant long-term project. Given the nature of the procurement method, businesses with a history of working directly with universities and handling complex licensing agreements with large vendors like Oracle would be well-suited to compete for future similar opportunities in the education sector. ## Notice 3 years of support for our Oracle Database and Application systems which are used by our GCU Finance, People Services, Registry and Support Services Updated licence provision for Oracle campus agreement which commits the institution to report increases in Student and Staff numbers based on HESA returns. Deprecation of our obsolete Oracle R11 licencing and repurchase of Oracle R12 licences to maintain fully supportable systems for the remaining projected life of the Oracle E Business Suite ### Lot Information Lot 1 3 years of support for our Oracle Database and Application systems which are used by our GCU Finance, People Services, Registry and Support Services Updated licence provision for Oracle campus agreement which commits the institution to report increases in Student and Staff numbers based on HESA returns. Deprecation of our obsolete Oracle R11 licencing and repurchase of Oracle R12 licences to maintain fully supportable systems for the remaining projected life of the Oracle E Business Suite ### Procurement Information Oracle database and application licences are perpetual and our commitment with Oracle holds for as long as we are using the licences themselves. They carry commitments which mean that if we are actively using them then we must purchase additional licences and support from Oracle direct in this instance. This partly due to the dynamic nature of the changes to university HESA figures; it is not possible to enter into a framework or otherwise "compliant" purchase as we cannot predict the future need, and existing framework or tender cannot be completed for a custom requirement from a sole vendor. - Additional factors are that we have been an Oracle customer for over a decade and change of systems to avoid this purchase would in itself be a multi-million pound and multi-year project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP489274 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Sep 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £516,181 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLASGOW CALEDONIAN UNIVERSITY | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G4 0BA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ORACLE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72261000 - Software support services ## Release History - 28 Sep 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP489274 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP489274 Award of Oracle Support Renewal with R12 upgrade and licence levelling (GCU) - 3 years of support for our Oracle Database and Application systems which are used by our GCU Finance, People Services, Registry and Support Services Updated licence provision for Oracle campus agreement which commits the institution to report increases in Student and Staff numbers based on HESA returns.
