Research Ethics System · UK public procurement notice

The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-

(a)a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and

(b)the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.

Worktribe is already in use and therefore already integrated with key systems such as Staff Connect and UBW which will significantly reduce implementation costs. Ongoing maintenance costs in the form of staff time will also be minimised by consolidating systems. Ethics details can be linked to information on funded projects stored in the pre-award module.
