Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has completed the procurement process for an "Expense Management Solution" within the education sector. The buying organisation, Cardiff University, based in Cardiff, UK (CF24 0DE), went through a contract renewal phase for its Travel and Expenses system with the linked Travel Management provider. This procurement follows an open tender process initially conducted in 2020, with Concur Holdings Netherlands B.V being the identified supplier. The procurement method was limited, meaning there was no prior publication of a call for competition due to time constraints and the need for system compatibility. The contract was awarded on 28th June 2024, valued at £582,300.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial management and IT solutions tailored for educational institutions. Particularly, large-scale enterprises with established experience in providing integrated expense management systems would find this contract advantageous for growth. Companies capable of offering solutions that seamlessly integrate with existing travel management systems, provide favourable pricing, and ensure minimal disruption during system migration are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes in the future.
