Bournemouth University App · UK public procurement notice

The purpose of this PME is to gather industry expertise and feedback that will inform the development of our final project and procurement requirements.

Objectives:

• Gain a better understanding of suppliers' capabilities, experiences, and innovations.
• Identify potential challenges and solutions relevant to the upcoming procurement project.
• Inform suppliers about the project's scope, objectives, and key requirements.

BU are intending on holding virtual meetings / demonstration sessions with interested suppliers via Microsoft Teams on the week commencing 04 August 2025.

If you wish to be considered for a virtual meeting / demonstration session with BU’s project team, please contact procurement@bournemouth.ac.uk to register your interest with the subject heading “IT/OS/412 – Bournemouth University App”.

Once suppliers have expressed their interest we will provide further information on the requirements with a Questionnaire for completion. BU will then shortlist suppliers for the virtual meetings / demonstration sessions based on the answers provided in the Questionnaires.

Please note that whilst we aim to engage with a broad range of suppliers, it may not be possible to invite all interested parties to a meeting. Participation in this exercise is voluntary, and there is no obligation for BU to meet with every supplier who expresses an interest and submits a completed Questionnaire.

This PME is not a request for quotation. BU’s current intention is to conduct an openly advertised tender process at a later stage.

There is no obligation for suppliers to respond to this PME. Supplier responses (or lack thereof) to this exercise will not be used to determine which suppliers will be carried forward to tender process or in any subsequent evaluation of supplier proposals.
