About

The University of Chester awarded a contract to Innovative Interfaces Global Ltd.

for the upgrade of its library management system from Millennium (on-premise) to Sierra (hosted in Innovative's private cloud).

The contract, valued at £340,000, was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as falling outside the scope of the Directive.

The upgrade was necessary due to the age of the existing system and the need to jump multiple versions, with Innovative as the software's IP owner ensuring minimal technical risk.

The existing system's tight integration with university processes and hardware made transitioning to an alternative system disruptive and risky.

A VEAT notice was submitted, and a standstill period was observed.
