## Summary

Liverpool Hope University has completed the procurement for a Student Placement Management System as per the contract award dated 27th March 2026. The procurement, conducted under the 'Below threshold - without competition' method, involved direct engagement with Quantum IT Europe Limited. This initiative falls under the services category and aims to enhance participation in the regional clinical placement network across the North West of England, specifically benefiting from improved interoperability within the multi-university consortium and UK Health Services. The contract, valued at £45,147, commences on 7th April 2026 and will continue until 6th April 2028, with a possible one-year extension. The system promises to streamline student placements and engagement with external providers, aligning seamlessly with existing cross-institutional arrangements.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software supply services within the education and health sectors. Quantum IT Europe Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), demonstrates how smaller firms can successfully compete and secure contracts through bespoke solutions that meet specific consortium and interoperability needs. Companies offering innovative cloud solutions or those adept in developing secure platforms for managing educational collaborations and placements could find similar procurement processes beneficial in expanding their footprint in the public sector market. With the emphasis on integration and data quality enhancement, businesses that can provide tailored software solutions in similar contexts would be well-suited to compete in future tenders.

## Notice

The University intends to procure InPlace cloud software service that will enable full participation in the regional, real-time clinical placement collaboration network used across the North West. This service provides a single, secure platform for managing placements, student wellbeing while on placement, and engagement with external placement providers, allowing seamless integration with the existing multi-university consortium & UK Health Services arrangements. It offers an established, widely adopted approach that reduces the need for multiple internal systems, improves data quality and compliance, supports consistent processes across professional disciplines, and ensures interoperability with the systems already in use by partner institutions. This will allow Liverpool Hope to operate on an equal footing within the shared placement ecosystem and avoid the operational and technical risks associated with non-aligned solutions.
