The tender, classified under Electronic Data Management (EDM) and IT services, is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 7th August 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 1st October 2020 and continue until 30th September 2030, focusing on the implementation of a data management application that meets varying integration and governance needs. The delivery will occur in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, data management applications, and IT consultancy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the university is open to procuring solutions from multiple vendors to fulfil its diverse data requirements. This initiative not only promises to enhance the operational efficiency of the university but also offers potential growth avenues for vendors skilled in data integration, governance solutions, and training services for application usage. ## Notice Our aim is to procure and implement a data management application that improves the university's Use, Management and Governance of Data. Whilst our preferred solution would cover Use, Management and Governance, we acknowledge that, given the differing needs for these three areas, we may need to procure a portfolio of applications, potentially from more than one vendor, that can easily exchange data with each other. The key objectives that we expect to support through the data management application are: * Ensure that we can produce high quality, consistent datasets which will help to unlock insights into our activities and inform decisions to achieve our plans; * Address issues around the integration of core systems to improve the flow of information between systems; and * Establish a common approach to the governance of data, clarifying data ownership of specific pieces of data and also what it means to be a data owner in terms of data maintenance. An integral part of the procurement is the provision of Staff training for the setup, configuration and use of the application(s). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b9c3c5a-b8b5-477d-9f16-d7b80f98d57f | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Other - Open | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 7 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2020 - 30 Sep 2023 | | 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 | UNIVERSITY OF EXETER | | Locality | EXETER | | Post town | Exeter | | Postcode | EX4 4QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK4 Devon | | ITL 3 | TLK43 Devon CC | | Local authority | Exeter | | Electoral ward | Duryard and St James | | Westminster constituency | Exeter | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48613000 - Electronic data management (EDM) - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 72300000 - Data services ## Release History - 6 Aug 2020 at 13:47 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b9c3c5a-b8b5-477d-9f16-d7b80f98d57f - 24 Jul 2020 at 17:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b9c3c5a-b8b5-477d-9f16-d7b80f98d57f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4b9c3c5a-b8b5-477d-9f16-d7b80f98d57f 6th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=33902&B=EXETER Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/53042 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.exeter.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
