Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

De Montfort University procured an academic integrity and assessment feedback platform, identified as Turnitin. The requirement is a software package and information system supporting academic integrity and assessment management. The procurement was for the university’s operations in Leicester, with delivery recorded for the United Kingdom. It was treated as a goods procurement and was arranged as a call-off from the APUC Academic Integrity and Assessment Management Systems framework. Turnitin is the named platform and Turnitin LLC, a large supplier based in Oakland, California, is the selected provider. The requirement is therefore relevant to software providers and framework suppliers specialising in academic integrity, plagiarism detection, assessment management or feedback systems for higher education institutions.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. De Montfort University used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct call-off from the APUC framework. The award was made to Turnitin LLC on 3 August 2026, with an awarded contract value of £65,000. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The procurement lot was marked cancelled, while the related award and contract are active. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The award relates to the academic integrity and assessment management systems requirement. No contract duration is stated in the procurement information.

This procurement demonstrates an established higher-education requirement for a specialist academic integrity and assessment feedback platform, bought through a recognised sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature software product that supports academic integrity and assessment management, together with evidence that it can serve a university environment. Suppliers should be able to compete through an appropriate framework route or equivalent public-sector procurement arrangement, and demonstrate dependable delivery of a large-scale institutional service. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that the buyer accepted a substantial, established provider rather than a small bespoke software engagement. Relevant businesses include platform vendors, framework suppliers and specialist education-technology partners.
