## Summary

The Cardiff University has recently awarded a contract for a Research Data Repository System, aimed at meeting open research requirements. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically involving software packages, software-related services, and research services. The system is expected to facilitate dataset publication, DOI issuance, and secure cloud storage for long-term data retention. Digital Science was the awarded supplier, with the contract being signed on 26th April 2023.

This opportunity presents a chance for businesses providing software services, research support, and cloud storage solutions to engage with Cardiff University. The procurement process has reached the award stage, indicating the contract is now active.

## Notice

Cardiff University requires an institutional research data repository that will allow researchers to publish/share datasets in order to meet funder, publisher and University open research requirements. The system will require a public interface to showcase research and allow others to download data files, alongside a deposit interface where researchers can create dataset records, upload data files, obtain Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), and apply other functionality including embargoes and restricted access for sensitive datasets. Administrator access will also be required to allow repository staff to approve deposits, and an underlying secure UK-based cloud storage solution that will ensure long-term retention and access to data files in line with funder and University requirements.
