## Summary

Liverpool John Moores University plans to procure a fully operational labour market intelligence software platform for students, graduates and careers advisers. The platform is intended to help users explore career pathways linked to their studies; research occupations and industries; understand salaries and employment trends; identify career-specific skills; and match their interests, qualifications and skills to career options. It should also help users find employers, placements and graduate vacancies, and access employment insights. Delivery is in Liverpool. The procurement is for software and information systems.

The process is at the planning stage: the university has set out its intention to procure and is seeking preliminary market input through a request for information, not inviting tenders. The planned purchase is arranged as one lot, with the contract period expected to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2031. The buyer expects suppliers to register through its In-tend portal to access the RFI, with market engagement scheduled to close on 9 November 2026. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This is likely to suit suppliers with an established, fully operational labour market intelligence or careers platform that can be adapted for a university audience. The product needs to bring together career pathways, occupation and industry research, salary and employment trend information, skills requirements, employer information, placement opportunities and graduate vacancies. Strong candidates will be able to make this information interactive and visual, and support users in matching their interests, qualifications and skills to suitable careers. The planned lot is considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers of those types may find the scale relevant. The university is seeking market input at this stage, giving capable providers a chance to inform its developing requirement before a tender invitation.
