Tender

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.
