| Title | Software-as-a-Service-based solution for research and knowledge exchange administration |
| Description | A Software-as-a-Service-based solution for research and knowledge exchange administration covering pre and post award projects, contracts, profiles, REF, impact, and outputs/repository. |
| Status | complete |
| Procedure type | direct |
| Procedure | Direct award |
| Reason for this procedure | Worktribe provides the current research information system. This infrastructure is heavily embedded into the University's systems and daily operational processes. Significant custom integrations, APIs, and data mapping profiles have been specifically built to function exclusively with this system. Transitioning to an alternative provider at this stage would introduce severe, disproportionate technical difficulties, including data fragmentation and migration failure, integration complexities, and risk of material loss to the University. |
