Plagiarism Detection Software Renewal – Trinity College Dublin

Trinity College Dublin is seeking to renew a 3-year contract for plagiarism detection and plagiarism reporting software support and maintenance services. The institution currently uses Turnitin integrated with Blackboard for student assignment submissions and similarity reporting. Since 2018, Trinity College has developed institutional processes, staff training, and expertise around this solution, resulting in improved service standards and optimized resource allocation. The college requires continuation of this specific system due to its critical integrations with multiple enterprise systems across campus. Switching to alternative systems would require significant organizational restructuring, substantial staff retraining, implementation of new workflows, and additional project costs that are not financially justified given the current system's effectiveness. Interested suppliers should note that the solution must maintain compatibility with existing Blackboard infrastructure and enterprise system interfaces while delivering plagiarism detection and reporting capabilities that support academic integrity standards.
