This procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically aimed at developing a system for recording attendance. The tender is set to conclude on 14th March 2019, and the anticipated contract period will commence from 1st May 2019, lasting until 1st May 2024, with a total value of £1,500,000. The delivery will take place in London, United Kingdom, and the procurement method used is an open procedure below the threshold. Interested businesses must register on the UCL's In-tend system to participate in this process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those offering attendance monitoring solutions or similar systems. Companies capable of providing comprehensive support and maintenance alongside hardware or software solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to consider this opportunity, as UCL is seeking fixed pricing for the initial five-year contract to assist with budget planning and overall reliability. ## Notice UCL is planning to procure a solution (hardware / software) with associated support and maintenance to capture and present attendance information. The initial contract term is for 5 years after which it will revert to an annual rolling contract at UCL's discretion. Ideally UCL would like to have fixed pricing for the initial period of 5 years in order to help with budget planning. Attendance Monitoring would replace current devolved and inconsistent manual administrative procedures, which are currently operated at departmental level saving significant time and effort from departments and academics. It is anticipated that Attendance Monitoring will provide suitable evidence for immigration purposes and reduce institutional risk in this area. The solution will also enable UCL to identify instances where welfare issues are occurring, identify problem cases to allow for early intervention on an academic and welfare basis and provide evidence for students who are underperforming. The solution will provide data required for a future Learner Analytics system that would enhance the student experience, enable students to perform better and ensure that UCL's high level of student retention is maintained. The specification detailing UCL's full requirements is set out in Schedule 4 (Mandatory Requirements) and Schedule 5 ("Specification") and should be read before Bidders begin to respond to this ITT. Additional information: This process will be managed via our In-tend system. If you are interested in participating in this ITT you will need to register your company on In-tend and then express an interest in the opportunity. ITT documentation will then be released to you. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c933ad4-134f-487d-a144-fe79c597e935 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 14 Mar 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Apr 2019 - 1 May 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1E 6BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 31711310 - System for recording attendance - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 22 Feb 2019 at 12:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c933ad4-134f-487d-a144-fe79c597e935 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c933ad4-134f-487d-a144-fe79c597e935 22nd February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/ucl/aspx/Home UCL Tendering Portal - Intend ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
