Summary of the contracting process

Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University, an institution focused on education, has completed the procurement process for a Research Information Management System. The procurement pertains to the software maintenance and application hosting for two instances of this system. Located in Bangor, UK (region UKL12), the procurement stage is at Award, with key dates including the contract signing on 6th January 2025. The procurement method was limited, owing to the specific requirements for compatibility and intellectual property protections, thus bypassing the usual public call for competition.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that can offer specialised software solutions, particularly those involved in research information management and software maintenance. It may be especially appealing to companies that can provide integrated technologies and proprietary software solutions. Large-scale enterprises like Elsevier, who was awarded the contract, are well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities due to their capacity to meet the demanding specifications and support requirements outlined by the university.
