The tender period is set to conclude on 17 July 2017, and the resulting contract is expected to commence on 1 December 2017 and run until 30 November 2020. The location of the contracting authority is Lancaster, in the North West of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for technology companies specialising in education management systems, customer relationship management (CRM), and data analytics. Businesses that can deliver comprehensive solutions for integrating processes, managing data efficiently, and providing business intelligence tools will find this tender particularly relevant. With the university focused on meeting its enrolment targets through effective marketing communications, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in developing customisable and user-friendly systems to attract and engage prospective students. ## Notice Lancaster University is inviting tenders for the provision of a technology solution (system) to manage the relationship with prospective students and applicants, from first enquiry through to enrolment. We are looking to implement a system that will help us meet our enrolment targets in the coming years, with a keen focus on maximising marketing communications and conversion opportunities. Our relationship with prospective students starts via a variety of mechanisms such as awareness raising campaigns, advertising, marketing and engagement with students through recruitment fairs, social media and events at feeder institutions in the UK and overseas and progresses through application and conversion phases right up until students arrive on campus. Meeting our enrolment targets will require systems that ensure these activities are joined up and that prospective students are targeted efficiently and effectively with a range of relevant information through appropriate channels, along with associated analytics tools to support decision making and optimization of our efforts. Some of the functionality considered to be highly important includes effective and appropriate contact data point collection and management, process workflow, data import and export, data integration with existing systems, security, targeted communications which can be rules-based or template-based but customisable or personalisable, a full life-cycle view of the contact, intuitive user interfaces and accessibility on a diverse range of devices and highly effective Business Intelligence capability.
