Request for Information - Alumni & Supporter CRM Replacement

Description

The university is looking to replace its current platform for enabling fundraising and volunteering and holding alumni and donor information, Blackbaud’s The Raiser’s Edge Classic. This will be the first step in the development of the university’s wider CRM capability.<br /><br />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 organization 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.
