Lot Information
Lot 1
Ellucian are the software house who have written the Ellucian BANNER Student Record System. Only Ellucian are able to support their own product in terms of releasing upgrades and bug fixes to their own codebase. Since the system's first installation, Bangor University has made significant investments in its staff, infrastructure, expertise, and capabilities. The Banner products also serve as the foundation for every step of the BU student experience. Owing to the Banner product's deep integration throughout the University's environment, BU plans to award Ellucian a contract through August 2027 in order to preserve a unified and comprehensive approach to the management of business procedures and student administration. In order to minimise integration costs, maximise the benefits of centralised data management, and give university decision makers incisive business knowledge, the university will also benefit from a unified platform strategy.
Procurement Information
The University has determined that Ellucian's products, services, and support are the only ones that can satisfy its requirements because of the advantages of a fully integrated approach and the embedded use of these technologies, as previously mentioned. Certain characteristics of the necessary software, which are both necessary to meet university standards and capable of guaranteeing compatibility with the university's current systems, are protected by unique intellectual property rights.
