## Summary

Birmingham City University is currently seeking tenders for "The provision of Digital Assessment Software", a key initiative within the educational software sector. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with the tender period ending on 18 June 2021. This project aims to enhance their Digital Assessment Centre, which has evolved due to the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing students to take exams remotely. The total estimated value of the contract is £550,000, and delivery will be required in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom, starting from 1 September 2021 and continuing until 31 August 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational technology and software solutions. Companies that provide digital assessment tools, remote invigilation services, and technical support are particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract. Given the dual model of operation adopted by the University, businesses that can also offer solutions for both on-campus and at-home exam facilitation are likely to find this opportunity attractive, enabling them to expand their market presence in the education sector.

## Notice

Success+ (the Digital Assessment Centre) began in August 2019 as an 80 PC lab running digitised exams for courses across the University. Since covid-19, the Centre has adopted a model where it facilitates students taking exams from their home, offering various levels of remote invigilation. This facilitation involves the Centre offering the following to staff: the digitisation of exam papers, liaising with students, invigilation of exams, technical support, and training staff on how to mark using the digital assessment software. The Centre currently adopts a dual model where students without the necessary equipment, or who do have not a place to work from home, come to campus for their assessments (this is usually between 0 - 10% of students taking an exam). The University plans to continue using this dual model.
