Summary of the contracting process

Coventry University has completed a procurement process for the renewal of the Turnitin Feedback Studio with Turnitin Originality services. This contract is crucial for providing plagiarism detection, grading, and feedback capabilities on the University's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), AULA. As there are no other vendors offering the required tools or integration with AULA, Turnitin, LLC, a large-scale supplier from Oakland, USA, was awarded the contract. The procurement was conducted below the threshold with the contract starting on 1st August 2025 and ending on 31st July 2026. The total contract value is £83,607.36. The location for the delivery of these software goods is the United Kingdom, specifically within the Software Package and Information Systems category.

This procurement process opens avenues for businesses specialising in educational technology and software integration services, particularly those focusing on academic integrity tools and VLE solutions. Companies with innovative solutions that can enhance or complement existing VLEs may find opportunities to partner or offer alternative services in this sector. The emphasis on seamless integration and specialised functionality suggests that enterprises adept at providing bespoke solutions aligned with higher education needs would find themselves aptly suited to compete in similar future tenders.
