The project, detailed in a prior information notice released on 7th October 2021, aims to gather initial insights through soft market testing, which involves a request for information from potential suppliers to gauge market capabilities. The tender period is scheduled to end on 29th October 2021, with the contract period slated to start on 30th October 2021 and run until 31st October 2021. The primary category for this procurement is services, specifically under the classification of software packages and information systems. The process follows an open procurement method, and the contract will be delivered at the University’s address in Manchester, North West, UK, postal code M13 9PL. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software development and digital solutions to expand their business. Companies that offer financial analysis and accounting software development services or have experience in creating innovative digital tools would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tendering process. Engaging in this procurement not only allows businesses to showcase their expertise but also enables them to forge a relationship with a prominent educational institution, potentially leading to further collaborations and contracts in the future. ## Notice The University plans to undertake a procurement exercise starting in November 2021 for the provision of Digital Adoption Tool. As part of this procurement exercise, we are undertaking soft market testing with potential providers. This is a request for information only at this stage to assist the University in determining what is possible and what, if anything, is out of scope.
