PROVISION OF A MARKETING PLATFORM
Authority: Cell & Gene Therapy Catapult (Public body)·Consortium: 2 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe CGT Catapult Marketing and Communications function currently uses Microsoft Dynamics as its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for a variety of marketing activities and processes via a marketing plugin - Click (formerly ClickDimensions). The CGT Catapult is currently implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called Industrial and Financial Systems (IFS). As part of the deployment and transfer to this new platform, Microsoft Dynamics will be decommissioned before the end of 2026, as IFS has its own CRM functionality. However, this functionality is limited in terms of marketing capabilities, and there is currently no replacement that enables CGT Catapult's digital marketing activities.
To ensure continuity of our external engagement and lead generation activities, we must identify and implement a new marketing platform that effectively integrates with the new IFS CRM offering.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Criterion 1: 30%
- Criterion 2: 70%
Published award criteria (2)
- Criterion 1: Price
- Criterion 2: Quality
- Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
