Notice Title

Student Intervention Platform/Open/PRO/2021

Notice Description

The OU requires a Student Intervention Platform (SIP) to enable improved new student conversion and increased student retention through better targeted campaigns and interventions. There is no existing provider of a SIP, so this will be a new piece of technology that is being procured. Some existing technologies are in place at the OU that might be incorporated as part of a provider platform or proposal, including web analytics and personalisation software. The OU feel that technology platforms exist in the form of Marketing Automation (MA) and Multichannel Marketing Hubs (MMH) that could support the development of this end-to-end operational framework.
