Notice Title

Renewal of a Student Attendance Monitoring System

Notice Description

This award is for a three year renewal of an existing student attendance monitoring system

Lot Information

Lot 1

This notice covers the award of a three year renewal of an existing student attendance monitoring system

Procurement Information

The university has piloted a student attendance monitoring system with SEAtS. The evidence of this pilot supports two conclusions. Firstly, the SEAtS solution has proven to be highly successful and the risk to the business of a change to an alternative provider at this point would be high, both in terms of financial cost, resource cost and impact on student experience. Secondly, the direct internal cost of a transition to another provider would make it impossible to offer a truly competitive tender to market.
