This tender, titled "TESTING AUTOMATED TOOL," falls under the software package and information systems industry category and is located in Leicester, United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 16 March 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 May 2021, spanning an initial term of three years, with potential extensions available for up to two additional years, contingent upon satisfactory supplier performance. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in software development and testing solutions, particularly those offering automation tools designed for regression testing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete for this contract, which can help them establish relationships with a major educational institution. Engaging in this tender not only offers a chance to showcase their technical capabilities but also opens doors to future projects within the university's IT framework. ## Notice Scope and Duration of the Contract ITMS is looking to invest in an automation tool to support testing, particularly regression testing which is currently a large manual overhead for ITMS and DMU. There is an expectation that regression testing will be a frequent testing phase in the very near future due to regular releases to the SAP implementation. The expectation of implementing an automation tool is to reduce this large manual regression testing overhead and to reduce the amount of resources required to complete regression testing. The duration of any Contract shall be made up of an initial Term of 3 (three) years with the option to extend for a further 2 (two) x 12 (twelve) month periods at the sole discretion of the University and subject to satisfactory performance of the supplier, making for a potential total Contract duration of 5 (five) years.
