## Summary

York St John University initiated a public procurement process titled "Application Development with database and branding" under the services category. The procurement, identified by ID TEN036, involved an open competition with a procurement method below the threshold. The scope of work encompassed app development, database creation, migration, and branding. Located in York, United Kingdom, specifically in the UKE21 region, this procurement sought innovative solutions through a two-stage procedure. The tender stage invited submissions until 22 September 2025, offering a contract value of £50,000. Unfortunately, the tender was later cancelled due to a funding withdrawal by the Medical Research Council, resulting in its termination on 5 February 2026.

This tender presented significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in programming services of application software. With an emphasis on quality, methodology, and indicative pricing, it encouraged creative and technically sound proposals, potentially leading to long-term business growth for successful bidders. The two-stage tender process allowed businesses to propose preliminary concepts before finalising their pricing, making it suitable for companies proficient in delivering bespoke software solutions and willing to collaborate with a public authority looking for innovative technology solutions.

## Notice

The University is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified provider for App Development, Database Creation/Migration & Branding - Maturity Monitor. This will encompass a 2-stage procedure. Stage 1 will see an RFP asking for possible solutions (this document) as the University is yet to decide on a final specification for this work and is awaiting confirmation of funding. The University invites creativity at this stage and is open to different solutions being proposed to meet our needs. As the solution may not be entirely fully formed at this point, we anticipate that pricing will only be indicative but nonetheless will be reasonable and evidence-based for what is being described. The University will evaluate all the solutions proposed in Stage 1. Bidders who are awarded less than 50% in the Stage 1 scoring, will not be invited to participate in Stage 2 and the University will draft a final, definitive specification at this point. The University will notify bidders promptly if they will not be asked to participate in this tender any further. The evaluation scoring and weighting may need to be modified at this point accordingly. If the nature of the final specification justifies modifying the anticipated timescales for the tender, they also may be modified at this point. The University will then issue a revised ITT, with a definitive specification asking for firm and finalised pricing. The University will only invite selected bidders who have participated in Stage 1 to submit proposals in Stage 2. Stage 2 will commence once we have confirmation of the funding, therefore timescales are only indicative.
