## Summary

The University of Plymouth is conducting a procurement for an Ethics Research Management System, classified under software package and information systems within the goods category. This procurement is at the award stage, having concluded on 17 November 2021, with a contract value of £61,650. The procurement was executed through a limited method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, exclusively for this bespoke system that has been specifically developed for the university. The system’s maintenance and licensing will cover a three-year period and is available only from the original developer, Infonetica Ltd, based in Esher, UK.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the software development and maintenance sector, particularly those with expertise in creating bespoke systems for educational institutions. Companies that specialise in software licensing and maintenance, especially those familiar with academic environments, would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Engaging with the University of Plymouth may also provide further networking opportunities and insights into the needs of public sector organisations in the UK.
