02/ The brief
What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
The University is undertaking a project to advance our green open access (OA) strategy. Green OA allows for self-archiving of research outputs whilst remaining fully compliant with funder OA policies. We are examining options to enable us to disseminate research and maximise impact most effectively by virtue of a modernised green OA environment.
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.
