Summary of the contracting process

The Medicines Discovery Catapult (MDC), located in Cheshire, England, initiated a tender for a Document Management System (DMS) to support operations at the Lighthouse Laboratory at Alderley Park. The procurement process, classified under software package and information systems, included a bespoke procurement method due to the estimated contract value of £60,000 being below EU financial thresholds. The tender period concluded on 27 August 2020, with the contract starting on 7 October 2020 and running until 31 March 2021. The award notice was published on 7 October 2020, and the successful supplier is Ideagen PLC.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Document Management System

Notice Description

The Medicines discovery Catapult (MDC) on behalf of the Lighthouse Laboratory (LHL) at Alderley Park invited quotations for a document management system (DMS). The system itself is a way of holding and controlling the documentation that describes, runs, and records the Lighthouse Lab's operation such as policies, procedures, risk assessments, records, training materials etc. The system will ensure version control, review, sign-off, and any training that is required on the documents. A DMS is an effective means of giving and controlling access to necessary documentation to all employees. Since the estimated contract value was below OJEU financial thresholds, a bespoke procurement process was designed whereby a selected group of suppliers were invited to submit quotations.
