Software Asset Management - Request for Information

Description

The University of Manchester is seeking to procure a comprehensive Software Asset Management (SAM) solution to optimise the management of its software licenses, ensure compliance with vendor agreements and enhance the overall efficiency of its IT operations. Present arrangements are somewhat limited, using databases run on a manual basis. This request for information will be used to shortlist suppliers for a subsequent closed procurement exercise. The University of Manchester no longer meets the criteria of a 'body governed by public law' and is therefore not considered a contracting authority for the purposes of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation. As a result, the University of Manchester will no longer be subject to the regime contained in The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and/or any replacement legislation with effect from 1 August 2023. However, as an institution founded for the public good, an exempt charity and an organisation in receipt of public funds, the University has a duty to manage expenditure in an appropriate manner and aims to deliver value for money across its non-pay spend by adhering to good procurement practice.
