Summary of the contracting process

London Metropolitan University procured a Turnitin Feedback Studio Enterprise licence, an online assessment and academic integrity software service. The requirement covers Similarity Checking and feedback tools to support the preparation, submission and review of assessed work. It is a software package and information systems procurement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is London Metropolitan University, a public university based in London. The service is intended for institutional use rather than a one-off supply of physical equipment, so relevant businesses are likely to be software providers or authorised technology partners able to provide an enterprise-level online assessment platform with integrated similarity detection and digital feedback functionality.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Turnitin, LLC on 30 July 2026, under one completed lot. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 29 July 2029. Its value is £102,448.14 excluding VAT, or £122,937.77 including VAT. The selected supplier is a large organisation based in Oakland, United States. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement, although it concerns an online software licence. Evaluation details recorded for this process are the limited competition route and the requirement for the specified Turnitin Feedback Studio Enterprise solution.

This award demonstrates an established university requirement for enterprise online assessment software combining similarity checking with assessment feedback. Suppliers best placed to compete for a comparable requirement would need a mature hosted platform that can support institutional-scale use, manage assessed work securely and provide practical tools for marking and feedback. Credibility would also depend on delivering the core academic integrity function alongside the assessment workflow, rather than offering a standalone plagiarism checker or generic learning technology. Software publishers, specialist education-technology providers and authorised partners with experience supplying universities are the most relevant competitors. The incumbent shows that a focused, established product offering can satisfy this buyer’s requirement through a limited competition route.
