## Summary

Coventry University has completed a direct procurement process for the "OMIS Future Travel (OMIS FT)" project under the software package and information systems category, valued at £26,362.50. The project, managed by Magic Square Systems Ltd, aims to extend the OMIS FT tool to additional departments within the university. The tender process has moved to the award stage, with the contract period starting from 1 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The procurement method involved a single tender action for a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), with Coventry University as the buying organisation, based in Coventry, England.

This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs in the software development industry, particularly those specialising in business and travel management tools. The successful rollout of OMIS FT across Coventry University departments signifies potential for further collaborations and expansion into similar institutions seeking efficient travel authorisation systems. Businesses with strong capabilities in software maintenance and customisation will find this tender particularly suitable for showcasing their expertise and establishing long-term relationships with educational institutions.

## Notice

OMIS FT was launched in April 2023 in Research as a one-stop, travel initiation and authorisation tool/ app, which allowed the VC and other senior leaders clear oversight of international travel in research. It is a business essential tool from both a risk and finance perspective. Following the successful adoption of OMIS FT in Research, the VC/SLT requested it be rolled out to other parts of the Group, including APU, EIO, Colleges and NITE. The product was developed and is owned by Magic Square Systems. This renewal is simply to cover the costs of this wider roll-out and the annual maintenance costs of hosting the product. Once rolled-out across the Group, OMIS FT will provide significant resource efficiencies with a single consistent approach to travel authorisation.
