Notice Title
UX Layer/PRO/OPEN/2021
Notice Description
The tender was for a UX Layer to allow us to create a seamless student journey from Enquirer through to graduation. Our vision is to create a seamless, connected, optimised and personalised journey, that is automated wherever possible. To do this we want to combine our different websites and services to create one continuous, easy to use student journey. To reach this end goal, we require a UX layer capable of delivering our mixed media content. This will be a cloud-based solution (SaaS). It will be hosted in the cloud and consistent with OU policies around architecture and security. The solution should provide a safe and secure platform for students and OU staff to use and collaborate and be able to publish information from a headless content store. The OU is only purchasing the software and implementation services are not required. The contract is for an initial period of 5 years and may be extended by the OU for further periods up to a maximum of 15 years in total.
