This tender provides significant growth opportunities for firms specialising in digital information services, particularly those that develop or supply proprietary database products. Small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the technology and information sectors are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements, especially those with capabilities in delivering bespoke digital content services. Given the university’s procurement regulations, there is an opportunity for competitive firms to showcase their unique offerings that cannot be directly compared to others, thus adding value to their bids.
