The requirement is for software and information systems supporting simpler ways of working, the consolidation of multiple asset information systems and evidence of compliance with relevant ISO standards. The buyer is the University of Leeds, based in Leeds, and delivery is intended for Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a goods procurement centred on an integrated digital solution for quality, management and asset information. Suppliers able to provide enterprise software, implement a common data environment and support the University’s operational and compliance objectives are likely to find the requirement relevant. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement has reached the tender stage: the University of Leeds invited suppliers to take part through a tender notice for its proposed quality and information management project. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 4 September 2026 at 00:00 British Summer Time. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2030. The total estimated value is £400,000. The procurement is for goods and uses a tender procedure. The published requirement describes market engagement intended to obtain supplier feedback on potential solutions, indicative costs and timescales, and whether the market can meet the requirement before a formal tender is launched. Evaluation criteria, enquiry arrangements and any lot structure are not set out in the available procurement information. This opportunity suits software providers and systems integrators with experience delivering enterprise quality management systems and Common Data Environments. Relevant capability includes replacing legacy or fragmented platforms, consolidating asset information from multiple systems, configuring workflows that simplify organisational working, and supporting reliable information governance. Suppliers should be able to help a large university demonstrate compliance with relevant ISO standards, translating operational requirements into a practical digital system and supporting implementation across the organisation. The requirement is also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may be well placed to compete, particularly where they can offer strong implementation, integration, data-management or compliance expertise. Providers with education, estates, asset-management or similarly complex organisational experience may have a useful commercial fit. ## Notice The University of Leeds (The University) is seeking to replace an existing Enterprise Quality and Management System (EQMS) and to implement a Common Data Environment (CDE) to enable it to simplify ways of working, consolidate multiple asset information systems, and to enable the University to demonstrate compliance with relevant ISO standards. The purpose of this notice is to invite suppliers to take part in pre-tender market engagement for the University's proposed QIMS project. It is intended to help the University understand the market, gather feedback on potential solutions, indicative costs and timescales, and assess whether suppliers can meet the requirement before any formal tender is launched. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beb4033e-73f9-42c4-967e-21c11b8a7697 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2027 - 31 Dec 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | University of Leeds | | Locality | LEEDS | | Postcode area | Leeds | | Postcode | LS2 9JT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 12 Aug 2026 at 14:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beb4033e-73f9-42c4-967e-21c11b8a7697 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/beb4033e-73f9-42c4-967e-21c11b8a7697 12th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Leeds:-Software-package-and-information-systems./5EX4563JT6 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
