The procurement is classified under services within the software package and information systems industry category. This selective procurement method follows a restricted procedure, with the tender period closing on 23 March 2018 at 12:00 pm. The ensuing contract period will run from 1 June 2018 until 31 May 2020, and delivery addresses can include various locations, including the UK and overseas territories. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in software development, hardware consultancy, and information systems. Suppliers will need to collaborate effectively if awarded different lots of the contract, highlighting the need for companies that can demonstrate strong partnership capabilities. Firms that are well-equipped to handle various components of IT services, such as installation, support, and data services, would be well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially enabling them to strengthen their market presence and grow their business within the academia sector. ## Notice The University of Nottingham currently has an existing Framework Agreement in place for User Devices. Due to the expiry of the current agreement, the University is looking to establish a replacement agreement as Lot 1 of this Framework Agreement. The University of Nottingham currently has a number of existing Agreements in place for infrastructure. The University is looking to establish a replacement agreement as Lot 2of this Framework Agreement which will consolidates these agreements and covers all infrastructure components. Lots will be awarded singly and suppliers may apply for both Lots. In the event that Lots are awarded to different suppliers there is an expectation that both suppliers will actively collaborate to achieve the best outcomes for the University, in particular where project requirements may sit across both Lots.
