Columbus Global Renewal of Annual Software Maintenance and Support Agreement

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.

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.
