Research Grants Management System

Tender description

This contract will replace the existing finance system module, the contract and support for which is expiring, whilst providing enhanced and extended functionality for the LSHTM research portfolio Lot 1: The contract and support of the existing LSHTM finance system including the research costing & pricing functionality is ending in December 2025. Moving to Cloud-based solutions for core systems is in line with LSHTM IT strategy whilst the functionality needed to support LSHTM research projects means a full research grants management solution is required. The assessment of options for the Finance System has means that LSHTM will require two separate systems, one for Finance and one for research management. Worktribe is the only vendor that offers an off-the-shelf, ready-to-use solution with end-to-end functionality and fully integrated workflows for Pre-Award, Post-Award, contracts management, due diligence, timesheets, ethics and reporting within a single, user-friendly platform.
