We are seeking this support to deliver a software development project for our existing ALaRMS Training Management Software. Bidders are invited to quote for the services described in this specification to the end of June, anticipated to commence from 7 July 2020. Bidders potentially may be called for a clarification interview. We are looking for a UK based developer who can work closely with the Aquila Learning Development team and add core skills to an ongoing development programme for our Learning Management Software. You will work directly to the Aquila Learning Lead Developer to deliver several work strands. The service provider must offer: * Full stack development and agile development practices. * Experience of MS ASP.Net Core, SQL and C#. * Software design and prototyping for web based applications. * Experience of learning and training management software development. * Experience of working with high-risk industries such as aviation, defence and rail. * Be able to work remotely (however being located close to Oxfordshire is desirable for meetings). * Experience of Systems Approach to Training methods. Aquila Learning would expect that each supplier will be able to provide 3 - 5 days per week of support, consisting of direct business support and the administration surrounding this, including completing the required ERDF compliant paperwork. We expect 90% of time be spent on direct business support and 10% on related administration. No Travel and expenses will be paid for this contract. The maximum budget for this ERDF-funded procured service is PS50,000 excluding VAT per supplier until. This can be split between 2 suppliers.
