UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University, located in Cardiff, United Kingdom, initiated a public procurement process for a project titled "Clinical Exams and Assessment Software" within the industry category of software package and information systems. The tender, identified as ID CU.1883.TH, was conducted under the legal framework of the UK's Public Undertaking, specifically applying Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement process, which was in the award stage and completed, aimed to address the need for a software solution to manage high-stake, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations within the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences. The process began in March 2025, with the submission deadline on the 16th of April 2025, subsequent evaluation by May 1st, and the contract intended to commence on the 5th of May 2025, spanning until September 2030. Despite initial progress, the award was ultimately cancelled on the 28th of May 2025 due to a duplicated notice.

This procurement opportunity provided a significant pathway for businesses specialising in developing robust, reliable software solutions aimed at education and examination processes. With a gross valuation of £582,834, the competitive flexible procedure allowed for open submissions where businesses could showcase their bespoke software capabilities, aligning with Cardiff University's criteria for quality, responsible procurement, and cost-effectiveness. Companies capable of navigating complex contract negotiations and delivering high-quality solutions to replace error-prone manual processes would have been well-suited to compete. The tender's cancellation opens the door for future opportunities when the need for such software is revisited, allowing firms to align their offerings further with the university's operational goals and technological needs.
