Useful information
Framework overview
Academia have been successful on several public sector and educational framework agreements for the supply of software. Most notable would be the Software License Reseller Agreement (SLRA), which is available to hundreds of educational customers. The most utilised lot is “other software” lot 4, which covers all applications which do not have a dedicated lot. As rank 1, customers can directly award Academia and be EU compliant irrespective of the value. This is of benefit when any formal OJEU tender will not change the desired solution, its price or terms.
