## Summary

The University of Portsmouth Higher Education Corporation procured a renewal of its Turnitin Enterprise licence for academic integrity software. The requirement covers software supporting institutional marking workflows through Feedback Studio and integration with teaching platforms and end-to-end assessment lifecycles. It is a software package for academic and education-sector use, rather than a general IT supply. Delivery is for the University of Portsmouth in Portsmouth, United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement and concerns the University’s institutional use of an academic integrity and assessment-support platform. Suppliers operating in educational technology, academic integrity, assessment software, learning-platform integration or higher education marking systems would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where their products support institutional assessment processes and teaching staff workflows.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded to TURNITIN, LLC on 3 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £121,044.30 excluding VAT, or £146,453.16 including VAT. The award covers the single completed requirement for the academic integrity software licence. The selected supplier is Turnitin, LLC, a large US-based software provider. The procurement used a direct route rather than an open tender, and the stated requirement was specifically a renewal of the supplier’s existing Turnitin Enterprise licence.

This procurement demonstrates established demand at the University of Portsmouth for enterprise academic integrity software embedded in assessment operations. A credible future competitor would need a mature platform for detecting academic integrity issues and supporting institutional marking, with functionality comparable to Feedback Studio. It would also need reliable integration with teaching platforms and the wider assessment lifecycle, rather than operating as a standalone checking tool. Suppliers should be able to support higher education users, institutional-scale licensing, teaching staff workflows and the operational requirements of an academic institution. Experience delivering secure, dependable education software and maintaining integrations across assessment systems would strengthen a competing proposition when this type of requirement is next reviewed.
