Notice Title

CS102-Virtual Cyber Security Learning Platform PIN Competitive procedure with negotiation

Notice Description

Cyber Security Learning Platform for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Bath Spa University (BSU) is looking for suppliers that can support the teaching needs of students. An integrated solution is required to teach UG and PG Cyber Security courses to acceptable standards. We are seeking accreditation for the BSc course, which will likely depend on teaching these skills. There are two distinct phases of requirements based on current and expected future needs, based on course growth and the need to update our unique offering. Proposal: The proposal is to work with an external vendor/supplier to develop a bespoke platform that provides students with the necessary environment to learn key skills, offering a larger volume of options. We have yet to see a product or group of products that meet the requirements for the real world aspect of teaching students about cybersecurity to undergraduate and postgraduate levels. BSU is looking to work with a supplier or group of suppliers that can support this innovation and would be open to working in partnership with other universities or creating new learning that can be shared with other universities. Procurement Exercise: Please review the attached MoSCoW sheet and the requirements. Should you believe you can provide the functionalities required, please provide a completed response with comments along with details of your organisation and experiences to enable you to be shortlisted for the Competitive procedure with negotiation.
