    Brief

    Coventry University requires a Bottomline PTX Licences contract to maintain critical payment operations. This service is essential for processing staff wages and supplier invoices. The system is business-critical with minimal disruption tolerance. Due to the contract value falling below UK Government procurement thresholds and the substantial switching costs associated with migration to alternative providers, a competitive procurement exercise is not being undertaken. Suppliers should note this is a direct award opportunity for licence provision and support services for the university's payment processing requirements.
