Tender description

Provision of license for student platform to access a range of software or applications. Lot 1: The University intends to contract with AppsAnywhere Ltd for the provision of a software portal to facilitate learning and access to software for both students and staff. The contract will commence 01/11/2024 until 31/10/2027. AppsAnywhere Ltd currently provide licences for access to software across various devices, on and off site, through Cloudpaging technology, eliminating the need for manual installations. It has become the primary platform for software access over the last two years, with integration into the Canvas Virtual Learning Environment. A three (3) year contract will allow time for a comprehensive review of the University's requirements. Significant internal investment has been made in training and support for the portal, and removing it would negatively impact strategic goals and user experience. An options re-appraisal and procurement process will be initiated before the end of the renewal period to ensure the best future fit and value for money.

About the buyer

University of Birmingham is a higher education organisation whose central Procurement Division buys on behalf of its colleges, departments and professional services. Framework agreements arranged through regional consortia set fixed terms, service levels and pricing, and a purchase is committed only once an order is placed. The University also runs its own Build Higher Framework for construction projects, appointing five approved contractors to deliver against it. Suppliers register on the University's in-tend portal to view and respond to live tenders. Sustainable procurement principles apply across all University purchasing, covering carbon reduction and ethical supply chains.

Education procurement reached £47.4bn in 2024/25, the fourth-largest public sector budget.

Over the past 5 years, most of University of Birmingham's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and research and development.
