The software is intended to simplify working practices, bring multiple asset information systems together and help the University demonstrate compliance with relevant ISO standards. This is a software and information systems procurement, covering the proposed QIMS project as a single requirement. Delivery and implementation will be in Leeds. The buying organisation is the University of Leeds, a higher education institution. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide an integrated quality and management platform alongside a Common Data Environment, with the functionality needed to consolidate asset information and support evidence of compliance across the University. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently intended to involve pre-tender market engagement rather than a formal invitation to tender. The University is seeking market feedback on potential solutions, indicative costs and timescales, and suppliers’ ability to meet the requirement before launching a formal tender. The planned procurement has an estimated value of £400,000 including the stated currency of GBP and is arranged as one lot. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 1 October 2026. The procurement is classified as goods and software and information systems, and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The formal procedure and tender conditions are expected to be established after market engagement. This will suit software providers specialising in enterprise quality management, common data environments, asset information management or related information systems. Strong candidates are likely to be able to replace an existing EQMS, implement a new shared information environment and integrate or consolidate several asset information systems. Experience of simplifying business processes across a large higher education organisation would be relevant, as would the ability to support structured evidence for compliance with applicable ISO standards. Suppliers should be prepared to explain how their solution meets the University’s operational needs, what implementation approach they would take, and the likely delivery timescale and cost. The market engagement provides an opportunity for capable suppliers to shape the requirement before any formal competition. ## Notice The University of Leeds (The University) is seeking to replace an existing Enterprise Quality and Management System (EQMS) and to implement a Common Data Environment (CDE) to enable it to simplify ways of working, consolidate multiple asset information systems, and to enable the University to demonstrate compliance with relevant ISO standards.
