The University of Nottingham is a world class teaching and research institution with campuses in the UK, China, and Malaysia. We are home to tens of thousands of students, academics, and staff. Our vision is to be a university without borders, where we embrace the opportunities presented by a changing world, and where ambitious people and a creative culture will enable us to change the world for the better. The university recognises the need for agile, reliable and robust technology services. They underpin everything the university does from delivering excellent, digitally enabled education, research, and professional services, to providing an exemplar user experience both on and off campus. The university intends to award a framework agreement to a single supplier with a term of four years. At the same time as awarding the framework the university intends to award call off contracts for Strategic Advice and Guidance, Network Services, Managed Print Services and Integration. These call off contracts are each expected to have a term of five years with the option to extend by two years. Draft terms and conditions for the framework agreement and call-off contracts will be provided with the invitation to tender documents. Additional information: The award of this contract will be on the basis of the ‘Most Economically Advantageous Tender’ (MEAT).

As set out in the Selection Questionnaire
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “The University of Nottingham - Digital Partner” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
