Coverage: 56 active published awards; 1 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The University of South Wales seeks the provision of a secure, scalable, cloud-based online peer-to-peer asynchronous chat platform and associated virtual community functionality. The solution must enable prospective students to engage directly with trained current students (“student ambassadors”) and, where appropriate, staff, through moderated one-to-one messaging and community-based discussion spaces. The platform must support the full applicant journey, from early enquiry through to enrolment, and integrate with external platforms used within the UK higher-education admissions ecosystem.
