## Summary

The University of Exeter is planning a tender process for an Academic Workload Planning/Management System intended for its 3000-strong academic staff. This procurement falls under the 'Information systems or technology strategic review and planning services' category and targets improved integration and simplified workload policies. Located in Exeter, UK, the buyer is a public authority entity classified under sub-central government. The process is currently in the planning stage with upcoming milestones such as a market engagement scheduled for 6th March 2026 and the contract period set to begin on 1st May 2026, running until 30th April 2031. Potential suppliers should note that a future notice is expected on 27th March 2026.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for suppliers specialising in academic workload management systems, particularly those offering advanced integration capabilities and flexible data reporting solutions. It is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) due to its suitability requirements, providing a conducive environment for business growth by offering strategic and tailored solutions to a well-established university with existing workload policies. Enterprises with expertise in planning, managing, and implementing information systems in the education sector stand to benefit significantly from this contract, contributing to organisational efficiency and enhanced workload management.

## Notice

We are interested in finding suppliers of academic workload planning and management systems who will be able to supply a system to a university with well-established workload management policies and processes. Our workload planning system is currently accessible to around 3000 academic staff, and workload planning data is used for planning and management, TRAC, and teaching costing. With our new system we are seeking better integration, a simplified approach to workload policy through more flexible controls, and more flexibility to view our data both within the system and through reporting.
