Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) has awarded a contract to Elsevier B.V. for the provision of a Current Research Information System (CRIS). The contract pertains to the Database-management system industry, classified under CPV codes 48612000 and 48611000. This selective procurement was conducted via a restricted procedure and the awarded contract is valued at £149,030. The contract period starts on 1st June 2024 and ends on 31st May 2027, with the project’s purpose being to manage staff research activity data to support BNU's Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAP) application and REF 2028 submission. The primary location for this project is in High Wycombe, Bucks, within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender award presents significant growth opportunities for technology firms and software providers with experience in database management systems and research information systems. Organisations specialising in academic and research sector solutions, particularly those that can offer robust data management and reporting capabilities, would be well-suited for similar future procurements. Engaging in such opportunities allows businesses to establish themselves in the higher education sector and potentially lead to long-term partnerships with academic institutions. Although the current requirement does not emphasise SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with the capability to meet BNU's complex needs will find this opportunity particularly beneficial for expanding their client base.
