## Summary

Coventry University procured Turnitin Feedback Studio with Turnitin Originality licences, software used to check student submissions for plagiarism and originality. The requirement is a software package and information system, supplied by Turnitin, LLC, a large US-based provider. Delivery is for use in the United Kingdom, supporting the university’s academic assessment and student submission processes. The scope centres on continued access to Turnitin’s established plagiarism-checking and originality-checking functionality rather than a broader education technology service. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are therefore software providers with products for checking written work, identifying potential plagiarism and supporting originality review in higher education. The buying organisation is Coventry University, based in Coventry, and the awarded requirement relates to its university-wide use of these tools.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Turnitin, LLC on 24 July 2026. Coventry University used a direct award below the UK threshold, without competition. The university stated that the cost and time of changing supplier would outweigh potential commercial savings from tendering, and that the value was below the £207,720 threshold, including VAT, at which a tender or direct-award justification would be required. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £74,549.90 gross, including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the Turnitin Feedback Studio and Turnitin Originality software licences. The contract is active and the award is active.

This award demonstrates an established higher-education requirement for institutional plagiarism detection and originality-checking software, with sufficient scale to support university-wide use. A future competitor would need a mature product that can examine student submissions, identify potential plagiarism and provide originality feedback in an academic assessment setting. Credibility would also depend on showing that migration from an incumbent platform can be managed without unacceptable disruption, since the buyer’s stated rationale focused on the time and cost of changing supplier. Relevant suppliers should therefore be able to evidence reliable software delivery, experience supporting universities or comparable education organisations, and the operational capacity to maintain consistent access for staff and students across the institution. The incumbent’s established position is a significant competitive factor.

## Notice

Turnitin is the industry standard tool for checking for plagiarism for student submissions. The cost and time of change would outweigh any commercial savings for tendering for this tool, and the value is below the UK Government threshold of PS207,720.00 including VAT where a tender or justification for a direct award is required in the form of a Transparency Notice and a Contract Award Notice.
