What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Research Service (TRS) undertakes due diligence of all external organisation it contracts with (Funders, sub-contractors and collaborators. In order to make a decision as to whether we wish engage, we consider both reputational and financial criteria. There is a need to ensure that organisations are in a position to:

  1. fund the activity they are require; or
  2. manage the cashflow requirements and be in a position to deliver the activity we have requested.

To support this work TRS require a software solution that allows us for immediate access to credit reports for both UK and International organisation. The reports need to be easy to understand in order to make decisions to support contractual payment clauses.
