This tender, relevant for the software package and information systems industry, is divided into four lots, with a strong preference for a single software solution that consolidates all three requirements into one enterprise system. The procurement stage is currently active and open for participation until 11th November 2024, with the project located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract period will commence on 1st February 2025 and will run until 31st January 2028, with an estimated contract value of £600,000. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the OfS acting as the buying organisation. This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for software providers specialising in centralised business planning, project management, and risk management solutions. Suitable contenders include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Given the procurement's scale and preference for a single integrated system, firms capable of delivering a comprehensive enterprise solution could leverage this opportunity to demonstrate their expertise and secure a significant government contract with OfS. Prospective bidders should ensure they can meet the efficiency and effectiveness requirements stipulated by the tender. ## Notice To support the work that the Office for Students (OfS) undertakes, the OfS is looking to procure licences for, and to implement, software to assist the efficiency and effectiveness of our centralised business planning, reporting, and risk management processes, as well as the daily management of projects and programmes. This tender is divided into 4 Lots. There are three distinct activity areas that require a system, but the OfS' preference is for a single software solution that delivers all three requirements in a single enterprise system.
