Notice Title
Clearing Platform Software Enhancement
Notice Description
The University of Greenwich has an existing DPX Clearing Platform which interfaces with our it systems and website. There is a need to complete to an upgrade to ensure compliance with our cyber accreditations to ensure the safety of data. In addition part of the enhancement includes the AI tool to speed up the process. 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 during the clearing process 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 Studies.
Procurement Information
This is required for interoperability reasons as the system will not meet Government Cyber Guidelines if the enhancements are not made.
