Summary of the contracting process

The University of Greenwich has completed the procurement process for a Research Management Tool, falling under the industry category of Software Package and Information Systems (CPV code: 48000000). This procurement, classified as "goods," is primarily aimed at the acquisition of the Worktribe research management system. The procurement method was limited and negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. Situated in London, the University’s decision to adopt this system was finalised with a contract award to WorkTribe on 14th February 2025. This project covers various aspects of research management, integrating multiple university systems for a comprehensive end-to-end solution.

This tender opens significant opportunities for software solution providers specialising in comprehensive research management systems. It is particularly beneficial for businesses capable of offering robust, single-vendor solutions that integrate with existing university infrastructure. Firms experienced in delivering project management software packages, particularly those based in or familiar with the South East of England, are well-suited to meet such specialised requirements. This contract, valued at £3,000,000, represents a substantial business growth opportunity for companies with the capability to deliver sophisticated research management platforms.
