Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bristol is currently conducting a public procurement process for an "IP Management Database" to replace its existing system, which is no longer supported. This tender falls within the software package and information systems industry category, with a total contract value of £40,000. The tender period is open until 26 June 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 31 July 2017 and run until 30 July 2021. This is an open procurement method, allowing potential suppliers to submit their bids throughout the tender period. The location for the delivery of this service is Bristol, South West England.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for software development and IT service providers, particularly those with experience in creating and maintaining database systems for academic or research institutions. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may have the agility needed to fulfil the requirements of the University. Businesses specialised in intellectual property management software or custom database solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given the specific functional needs outlined by the university.

Notice Information

Notice Title

IP Management Database

Notice Description

The University wishes to procure an IP management database. The current, locally developed Intellectual Property (IP) database is falling into disrepair as local expertise in continuing development has been lost and the application under which it was developed (Microsoft Access) is no longer supported by the University. Currently, the Access based IP database supports 9 regular users, which we would hope to increase to 20 with any new system. It holds nearly 3000 projects and tracks information about intellectual property disclosures to the University, including disclosure, patent filings, deadlines, commercial licences, financial and forecasting information. Our aim is to replace the current Access database with a solution that not only provides at least the same functionality in terms of managing all aspects of the University's intellectual property holdings and commercial projects, but also supports the increasingly diverse nature of project, impact, awards and external organisation management within the team.
