The deadline for suppliers to submit their responses to the Request for Information (RFI) is noon on the 29th of April 2021. Briefing sessions for interested suppliers will be held from the 6th to the 14th of April 2021, offering an opportunity to gain further insights into the project. The location for the project is Milton Keynes, England. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in software development and information systems. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions related to information rights management and eager to engage with the Open University are encouraged to participate. With the limit on briefing sessions, those ready to act swiftly will likely gain a competitive advantage in this procurement process. ## Notice Suppliers are requested to respond to this PIN via The Open University's e-tendering website, In-Tend (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/openuniversity).

The OU is offering a limited number of briefing sessions to suppliers on a first come, first served basis.

The briefing sessions will be on a one-to-one basis. They will be held on from the 6th till the 14th April 2021 and the timeslots available are indicated in the RFI response pack with questions on how to request a session.
