The University of Manchester no longer meets the criteria of a 'body governed by public law' and is therefore not considered a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation. As a result, the University of Manchester will no longer be subject to the regime contained in The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation with effect from 1 August 2023. However, as an institution founded for the public good, an exempt charity and an organization in receipt of public funds, the University has a duty to manage expenditure in an appropriate manner and aims to deliver value for money across its non-pay spend by adhering to good procurement practice' Additional information: Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are freely available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/383e3281-43a9-4b40-b5a1-ae765e612678 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 May 2025 - 28 May 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M13 9PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Hulme | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Rusholme | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48730000 - Security software package - 72250000 - System and support services - 72510000 - Computer-related management services ## Release History - 8 Nov 2024 at 10:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/383e3281-43a9-4b40-b5a1-ae765e612678 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/383e3281-43a9-4b40-b5a1-ae765e612678 8th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
