Lot Information

Lot 1

Ravensbourne University London hereby invites tenders for the provision of a replacement Virtual Learning Environment solution. The University previously went out to tender for a new VLE in autumn 2022. However, with the development of a new growth strategy to rapidly increase our student population, as well as plans to put in place a new IT Strategy - following the appointment of a new Director of IT - it was felt prudent to end the tender exercise early in the context of such emerging change. There is already an existing VLE in place. However, it has been decided to re-tender for a replacement service that provides an enhanced end-user experience and opportunities for product development. The project intends to retire, archive, and migrate active content data from the existing VLE system as part of introducing a new VLE solution. The University therefore requires a cloud-hosted, Software as a Service, solution to meet these requirements on a cost beneficial basis. The VLE solution will need to integrate with several other key University systems, primarily Tribal SITS, the student record system and Turnitin (for coursework submission).

Renewal: Possible extension of 24 months dependent on future requirements of University.
