    Brief

    This is a software licensing renewal for Echo360, an architecture tool used by Coventry University's Digital Services Architecture team. Echo360 is a specialized solution with no alternative suppliers available in the market. The annual renewal cost is below the £207,720.00 threshold that would normally require a competitive tender process. Due to the specialized nature of the tool, vendor lock-in, and the minimal cost and time savings that would result from a competitive tendering process, this renewal will be awarded directly to the existing supplier without a competitive process. The procurement will follow the Direct Award exemption and will include an 8-working-day standstill period.
