Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde purchased an enterprise licence for Turnitin Feedback Studio, with maintenance, for use in its academic processes. The service supports student coursework submission and the detection of plagiarism and collusion. Delivery is at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. This is a specialist education software service centred on continued access to the Turnitin platform, rather than a general-purpose IT or software supply requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Turnitin was selected for the single lot through an open procedure; one bid was recorded. The University said retaining the platform was essential for continuity: it is embedded in academic processes, and stopping the service or rapidly moving to another supplier was considered unviable. It treated the purchase as a 12-month bridging requirement and cited disproportionate technical, operational and financial impacts from changing platform. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026, at a value of £61,309.38. The contract title covers 2026–2027; no more precise service start or end dates are stated.

This award indicates demand at the University for continuity of an established academic integrity and coursework-submission platform, including maintenance and enterprise licensing. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to demonstrate that its service can support student coursework submission and reliably detect plagiarism and collusion within established academic processes. The stated rationale highlights the importance of integration and continuity: the University judged a rapid transition to an alternative technically, operationally and financially disproportionate. Suppliers would therefore need to show how they can preserve workflows, minimise disruption and offer a proportionate, value-for-money service. The successful supplier was Turnitin, and the competition recorded one bid, showing that this was a focused requirement rather than a broad multi-supplier software purchase.
