About

The University of Birmingham awarded a contract to Wiley edu, LLC for online educational delivery services.

The contract, valued at £15,000,000, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union, as the procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive.

The University had made a considerable investment in technical, operational, and cultural integration for Wiley Education Services to deliver these services efficiently and effectively, including modified working practices and staff training.

Economies of scale through additional courses were required to maximize effectiveness, and setup and integration costs with an alternative supplier would outweigh any advantage.

Timescale was also a consideration, as the University wished to go to market with new courses in summer 2021, and internal resources were focused on COVID-19 mitigations.

The University identified that Wiley Educational Services was the only viable option to meet its requirements.
