## Notice

Teesside University seeks to procure a Current Research Information System (CRIS) for roll-out in the 2017/18 academic year. The solution will be adopted across the university's research professional services and academic research staff communities, and link to a number of key university systems such as HR records, finance and research data repository. The system is required to provide management reporting information, and provide an accessible record of key research information including research funding, outputs, impact information, and research expertise, and to support our submission to the next Research Excellence Framework. The University's preferred solution would be to initially procure the system as a capital investment and minimise recurrent costs for rental/licensing, and for the agreement to allow flexibility to allow for growth in the user numbers/licenses over the term of the contract.
