Notice Information
Notice Title
Improvements to the Agent Management and Admissions System
Notice Description
The University of Greenwich has an existing Agent Management and Admissions system which interfaces with our student records and student finance systems. There is a need to complete to an upgrade to ensure compliance with our cyber accreditations to ensure the safety of student data. The fundamental considerations for this solution is that it fits within our existing system architecture, is specialist for the higher education sector and that the company owns the intellectual property rights. The delivery of a timely development is required to enable the university to continue to support its students with admissions, which will deliver essential savings and ensure student success. There are no reasonable alternative or substitute development sites within the desired location that will meet the delivery timescales. This is a critical link to our student experience and to ensure the safety of our students and compliance with Government standards for the Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies. The University is planning to merge with the University of Kent: please see our website for further details.
Procurement Information
Some of the development on the system fits under the regulations as it is proprietary and the work is specialist to the higher education sector. In addition there is a need as existing systems can not support the additional unplanned growth of student numbers and the existing provider can provide the services.
