Coverage: 230 active published awards; 205 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. Published-to-award variance 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 Unpublished data stays unknown.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.

Procedure rationaleThe University recently completed a competitive procurement exercise for a replacement Leisure Management System and awarded a contract to OpenPlay. The implementation of OpenPlay is a business-critical requirement and is necessary to replace the incumbent XN Leisure system, which has reached end-of-life and no longer represents a sustainable long-term solution.
