Engagement

The pre-engagement notice, seeks to engage relevant suppliers in helping shape the subsequent specification and tendering process. This process comprises of the publication of the pre-engagement notice to alert suppliers to the opportunity, to enable suppliers to raise related questions and observations by email, and through a supplier briefing event (11/02/26 @ 15:00). From this the University will incorporate these questions and observations into our plans for there to be a subsequent UK3, and 4 (Tender), and making sure that all information is available equally to all potential suppliers. This engagement process relates to preparing for succession as our existing Finance / HR and Payroll systems reach the end of their term contracts (whose contract end dates are in July and December 2027 respectively). A supplier engagement event is anticipated and will be held by Teams on 11 February 2026 @ 15:00. Questions and observations can be made through tenders@chi.ac.uk, and information relating to these questions and observations will be published through https://help.chi.ac.uk/tenders . This process will close on 20th February, to enable formal tender documents to be further prepared, and for the formal publication of the UK4 notice on or around 2cnd March.
