This initiative falls under the software and information systems category within the goods market, and it is located in Leicester, UK. Currently at the planning stage, the process is intended to explore market options and engage suppliers, with an anticipated future notice date of 7th April 2022. No competition is planned at this stage, which is meant to inform potential future re-procurement efforts. This market engagement exercise presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with expertise in e-induction services for educational institutions. Providers who can demonstrate innovative, robust, and adaptable systems, as well as an understanding of the unique requirements of the higher education sector, would be well-positioned to compete in any subsequent procurement processes. Participation in this market exploration could prove valuable for businesses looking to establish relationships with De Montfort University and showcase their capabilities ahead of future contract opportunities. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION.De Montfort University currently have a contract and solution in place for the provision of e-induction services to prospective students to the University, and wish to explore what the wider marketplace potentially has to offer regarding the provision of these services in future. As part of exploring such future potential provision options, the University therefore wishes to conduct a market engagement exercise with interested suppliers.Please note this currently only represents a market engagement exercise and De Montfort University are not obliged to enter into any subsequent contract on the back of this exercise.All documentation and instructions relating to this market engagement exercise shall be uploaded to the InTend e-tendering portal, for subsequent downloading, consideration and ultimately responding to by interested suppliers. This portal can be found at: https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home. ### Lot Information Lot 1 PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITIONDe Montfort University currently has an established e-induction system in place for dealing with prospective student engagement with the University, covering issues such as course and accommodation enquiries.The University now wishes to engage with the market ahead of any possible future re-procurement to:a) understand at a high level what potential solutions do or do not exist in the marketplace for a Replacement Student E-Induction Solution for De Montfort University (DMU); b) understand what is the appetite or not of suppliers to provide such a Solution to DMU in the future;c) to provide the opportunity for suppliers to input into the design of any final Statement of Requirements (Specification) ahead of any full procurement (tender) situation that may take place in the future, and which is fair, maximises competition, prevents any subsequent aborted exercise occurring and maximises the benefits potentially subsequently deliverable to DMU (accepting that DMU reserve the right to may have to still insist on certain key 'Must's' because of other specific processes, integrations, etc, effective at DMU and which will unavoidably impact on the make-up of any Requirements for this particular Solution as a result also); andd) gain a high level understanding of affordability.This process is anticipated to include the undertaking of presentations / demonstrations of solutions proposed by interested suppliers to the University.Please note, this does not represent a Call for Competition however, and so there is no commitment upon either party to enter into contract as part of taking part in this exercise. Rather, it provides for an open and structured framework by which early engagement of potential customer requirements and discussion over potential alternative solution proposals from suppliers in response to these can take place. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009979-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Apr 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DE MONTFORT UNIVERSITY | | Locality | LEICESTER, UK | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 9BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 13 Apr 2022 at 22:21 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009979-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.dmu.ac.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
