The requirement covers software and related IT services, including system implementation, data migration support, ongoing support and maintenance, hosting, contract renewals, configuration and development where institutions require it. The framework is intended for full, associate and future members of participating higher education regional purchasing consortia, including APUC and consortia covering southern England, London, north-eastern England, north-western England and Wales. The work will therefore support institutions across the UK higher education sector, with activity associated with APUC based in Stirling. The primary service category is IT consultancy, software development, internet and support services, including software support and information systems. This procurement is at the planning stage: APUC has announced an intention to procure and has not yet invited tenders. The proposed arrangement is a single-lot framework agreement for alumni and fundraising CRM systems and associated services. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 October 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for suppliers. The framework is intended to be covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The stated contracting approach is to appoint contractors to provide the systems and services for participating higher education institutions. Potential call-off requirements may include implementation, migration, support, maintenance, hosting, renewals, configuration and development, depending on each institution’s needs. The planned framework should suit CRM software providers and IT services businesses with experience delivering systems for universities, colleges or other membership-based organisations. Relevant preparation would include capability in alumni and fundraising CRM implementation, data migration, software hosting, technical support, maintenance, configuration, bespoke development and managing software renewals. Suppliers able to support multiple institutions through a common framework, while adapting systems to different operational requirements, are likely to be well placed when the procurement reaches the market. The scope could also suit established software vendors working with specialist implementation or migration partners, and service providers with higher education delivery experience. The stated requirement does not identify particular professional accreditations, security clearances or minimum capacity thresholds; businesses should focus on demonstrating the listed technical and support capabilities. ## Notice APUC is seeking to appoint contractors to a Framework Agreement to provide Alumni and Fundraising CRM Systems on behalf of the UK Universities and colleges.
