Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM (THE) has completed the tender process for the annual maintenance fee of the MACRO database, a service classified under database software packages. The total value of the contract is £29,057.02, and the award date was 15 March 2022, with the procurement method identified as a direct single tender action below the threshold. The contract period is set for one day, concluding on 15 March 2022, and the service is to be delivered at the buyer's premises located in Nottingham, East Midlands, England.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in database management and software services, particularly those with experience in maintaining bespoke database systems. While the process was a single tender action limited to Elsevier BV, companies adept in transitioning between database systems, such as MACRO to REDCAP, could find future openings as the buyer moves towards alternative solutions. Providers with strong solutions in database maintenance and software migration will be well-positioned to engage with the UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM as their needs evolve.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Annual MACRO database maintenance fee.

Notice Description

Elsevier is the only supplier of the MACRO database it is their bespoke offering so we do not have the option of another supplier for this. We are beginning to move away our new study builds from MACRO and onto REDCAP but this is the annual maintenance fee for the supply of the system which we will have to continue to pay until such times as the old studies on this database are archived or we can migrate onto another database offering. This option is also being considered alongside what REDCAP can and can't offer us in the future.
