    University of Wolverhampton · 30 Sept 2026 · BLOOMBERG FINANCE L.P. · Official notice

    Rationale: The University undertook a preliminary market assessment to identify suppliers capable of meeting its academic and operational requirements. This process included engagement with peer Higher Education Institutions to understand current market provision, supplier selection rationale, and user experience, alongside direct consideration of alternative suppliers and their respective service offerings. Following this assessment, Bloomberg was identified as the only supplier capable of delivering the specific combination of functionality, content, industry-recognised platform capabilities, and educational resources required to support the University's current objectives. No alternative supplier was found to offer an equivalent solution that fully meets the University's requirements. Given the specialist nature of the requirement and the University's limited historical usage data in this area, the University intends to enter into a two-year contract. This initial term will enable the University to evaluate utilisation levels, assess stakeholder and student demand, and measure the educational and operational benefits derived from the service. The arrangement will also allow the University to further develop its understanding of future requirements and establish a robust business case for longer-term provision. The information gathered during the contract period will be used to inform the specification, procurement strategy, and evaluation criteria for a future competitive procurement exercise, should an ongoing requirement be identified.

    Enterprise Resource Planning System

    Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council · 30 Sept 2026 · ORACLE CORPORATION UK HOLDINGS LIMITED · Official notice

    Rationale: Oracle Fusion was approved as the Council's Enterprise Resource Planning system in October 2019, appointing Oracle Corporation UK Limited for an initial 5-year term with an option to extend for a further 2 years. The system went live in October 2024, following a Council-wide transformation programme, and now underpins Finance, HR, Payroll and Procurement across the organisation. Oracle Fusion is the platform through which the Council manages its financial resources, workforce and procurement activity, and its continued operation supports the delivery of all Corporate Plan priorities by ensuring corporate resources are managed efficiently, effectively, and transparently. The Council's own Programme Completion Report identified ninety benefits mapped to the Council's strategic priorities following go-live, including improved budget monitoring, automated approvals, and significant productivity gains for staff. The renewal protects the Council's investment in Oracle Fusion and ensures continued access to systems that are essential to the effective management of financial, workforce and procurement functions. (a) due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works.

    GWR - Engineering Fuel monitoring and quality services

    FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED · 30 Sept 2026 · FUELCARE LIMITED · Official notice

    Rationale: Fuelcare currently provides a highly specialised fuel management solution that is integrated with GWR's existing fuel infrastructure across five engineering depots. The services encompass proprietary fuel monitoring software, fuel metering equipment, inline filtration systems, tank cleaning services and biocide injection equipment that have been installed, configured and maintained by Fuelcare. The supplier possesses detailed technical knowledge of the existing assets, system configurations, operating parameters and historical maintenance records associated with these installations. Continuity of service is essential to ensure fuel quality, maintain operational availability of depot fuelling facilities and mitigate the risk of contamination-related fleet failures. The existing monitoring, filtration and treatment systems form a critical element of GWR's fuel assurance regime, with failure or interruption of these services presenting a significant risk to fleet reliability and depot operations. A change of supplier at this stage would require a comprehensive review of the existing equipment, software interfaces, asset condition and depot-specific operating arrangements. This would introduce technical and operational risks, including potential incompatibilities with existing infrastructure, disruption to established maintenance regimes, increased onboarding requirements and the loss of asset-specific knowledge held by the incumbent supplier. GWR intends to undertake a competitive tender exercise for the longer-term provision of these services. The proposed direct award will provide the necessary continuity of support whilst GWR completes a full market assessment, develops an appropriate procurement strategy and conducts a compliant procurement process. This approach will ensure uninterrupted operation of critical fuel management services and provide sufficient time for an orderly transition to any future contractual arrangements without compromising fleet availability or operational performance.
