Digital Facilities Management - Research

University of Exeter · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 03:35.

Opportunity overview

The University of Exeter currently has a number of diparate systems managing our extensive Research Facilities with combined functionality covering areas such as; space booking, asset tracking, maintenance, cost recovery, with many other facility management processes handled locally and manually across differing areas. With several of these existing solutions nearing end of Contract, the University has a time-sensitive opportunity to rethink its approach. Rather than replace like-for-like, we are seeking to implement a centralised, digital Facility Management System that streamlines operations, enables robust cost recovery, supports strategic planning, and improves the user experience for both internal and external stakeholders. This early market engagement exercise seeks to identify potential suppliers who can provide a flexible, scalable, and user-friendly solution aligned with the University's wider digital and sustainability goals. We are particularly interested in systems that are able to integrate well with other commonly used Higher Education/laboratory management platforms, and suppliers that have a proven track record within the sector.
