Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Salford procured research ethics compliance management software and export controls compliance management software for research. This is a software and information systems requirement, covering the renewal of Infonetica’s compliance management solution rather than physical goods or construction works. The buyer is the University of Salford, with delivery associated with its premises in Salford, England. The requirement is categorised as goods because it concerns software supplied as a product. The procurement was made through the G Cloud 14 framework and is relevant to software providers offering systems for research governance, ethics review, compliance workflows and export control management in the higher education sector.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The University of Salford used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026, and the contract was awarded to Infonetica Limited on that date. The awarded value is £239,591 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 22 April 2029. Infonetica Limited is the selected supplier and the award is active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. There was one award covering the software requirement.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from the University of Salford for specialist compliance software supporting research ethics and export controls. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform that can manage research ethics compliance processes and export-control obligations in a higher education environment. Relevant capability includes configurable workflows, controlled access to sensitive research information, auditable records, reporting and dependable ongoing support. Suppliers should also be able to work through a public-sector framework call-off route and demonstrate the organisational capacity expected for a multi-year institutional software service. The selected provider was Infonetica Limited, recorded as a large organisation, indicating the scale of supplier against which competitors were assessed.
