## Summary

Leeds Beckett University is currently undertaking an open tender process for the procurement of a Research Student Management System, aiming to enhance the management of doctoral students. This procurement falls within the software package and information systems sector, with a total contract value of £100,000, and a minimum price set at £50,000. The tender was published on 15th October 2018, and the deadline for submissions is 5th November 2018. The contract period is expected to commence on 31st December 2018 and conclude by 1st August 2019. This initiative is part of a strategic effort to modernise existing manual processes and improve online student services across the University.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs that specialise in software development and data management solutions, particularly those with experience in educational systems. Businesses that can provide innovative and efficient software solutions tailored to the academic sector will be well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on bringing operations online suggests a growing market for tech-savvy companies capable of delivering user-friendly and integrated management systems that streamline administrative tasks within educational institutions.

## Notice

The Graduate School has a new and expanded team in place but many of the existing processes are manual, labour/time intensive and carried out "offline" away from any data management system. Therefore, the aim of this procurement exercise is to secure a software solution that will bring several key stages in the doctoral student journey online. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
