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

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 10:29.

Opportunity overview

The University wishes to operate examination scheduling within a more integrated team with significant data integration and greater automation. Therefore, we need to understand the potential offered by current software products in the market to support achievement of these objectives and wish to engage with suppliers in order to: Gain an understanding of functionality (see key requirements below) and potential benefits to be gained from use of the system/service. Gain an understanding of the scale of cost associated with both purchase and implementation. On this basis we will then be building a business case for funding for submission to our internal planning process ahead of a possible procurement process. We are seeking expressions of interest from suppliers describing their product set in this space and, ideally, licensing and cost models as well as typical implementation costs. Please see additional information attached to the notice on Mercell. At this stage we are scoping the budget of this provision, so no cost is associated to this notice at this stage.
