## Summary

Leeds Trinity University initiated a public procurement process with the intent to implement a "Student Placement Management System - Professional Placements". Categorised under software package and information systems, this tender aimed to enhance the management of professional placements. The procurement process, conducted via an open procedure, was valued at £250,000. Although it began actively seeking suitable partners, the process encountered a cancellation in August 2025. Prior to cancellation, parties had until 15th April 2025 to submit their proposals, with the award targeted by mid-July 2025. The University, located in Leeds, intended to have a contract for three years starting on 1st August 2025, with options for extension.

Businesses with expertise in developing scalable systems that align with academic structures and offer functionalities like integration with Active Directory, SITS, and Target Connect stood well-positioned. Given the emphasis on quality and compliance with GDPR and accessibility regulations, vendors experienced in robust compliance solutions would have found this tender particularly favourable. Small and medium enterprises were specifically encouraged, highlighting opportunities for growth and establishment within public sector projects.
