## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation is in the planning phase for the procurement, implementation, maintenance, and support of a Leisure Management System. This system aims to enhance the management and operation of its sports and leisure facilities. The initiative has commenced with a Preliminary Market Engagement, inviting potential suppliers to provide comprehensive insights into available solutions and best practices. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their responses electronically by 12th March 2026. Located in Portsmouth, the procurement falls under the industry category of IT services, including consulting, software development, internet, and support.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in leisure management systems, particularly those offering innovative features and integrations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage, as the procurement process is designed to be accessible to them. Successful participants could significantly benefit through long-term collaboration and involvement with a prestigious academic institution. Businesses focussing on software solutions and consulting services in the leisure and sports sector are ideally positioned to compete, especially those that can offer robust implementation approaches and pricing models aligned with industry standards.

## Notice

The University of Portsmouth is currently assessing options for the potential procurement of a Leisure Management System to support the effective management and operation of our sports and leisure facilities and related services. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is an exploratory exercise and does not form part of a formal procurement procedure. Participation in this PME does not create any obligation on the part of the University to initiate or proceed with a procurement process. Furthermore, a decision not to participate in this exercise will not preclude any supplier from being considered in any future tendering opportunities. The primary objective of this exercise is to gain a deeper understanding of the market landscape, including available solutions and their functionality, industry best practices, indicative pricing models, implementation approaches, and any innovative capabilities relevant to leisure and facility management. As part of this engagement, we would welcome comprehensive information about your solution, including its key features, modules, integrations, reporting capabilities, user experience, and any differentiating functionality.
