## Summary

The University of Manchester is initiating an open procurement process for the "Canvas Implementation - HTML LTI Solution" project, aiming to migrate their current Blackboard Learn system to Canvas for its Central Learning Environment. This tender falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category, with additional relevance to educational software packages. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, with key dates including the tender publication on 23 August 2024 and a submission deadline of 9 September 2024. The contract period is scheduled to start on 1 January 2025 and end on 28 February 2027. The project is open to organisations located across a broad geographical scope, including the United Kingdom and international regions.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in software development, particularly those with experience in educational software and learning management systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Given the open procurement method, companies with innovative solutions for seamless HTML integration within Canvas will find this a significant opportunity for growth and partnership with a prestigious institution like the University of Manchester. Businesses adept in creating bespoke HTML documents and interactive JavaScript content for educational environments are well-suited to compete in this tender.

## Notice

The University of Manchester (UoM) is currently implementing Canvas as their Central Learning Environment system to replace our incumbent solution Blackboard Learn. Some areas of the University currently present the majority of their learning materials as bespoke HTML documents hosted on Blackboard. This allows fine control over structure, navigation and content, and allows interactivity to be incorporated inline using JavaScript, to support active learning. Instructure do not recommend or support hosting and linking to HTML documents in the way Blackboard supports. It is possible to upload a HTML document in Canvas, but presentation is limited to a preview of the content; you can't access and link to a 'clean' version of a hosted HTML page or website in a supported way. We therefore need to determine how to migrate our more structured and interactive materials over to Canvas. Additional information: Information, formalities and necessary requirements to be met will be set out in the procurement documents, all of which are freely available via the University's procurement portal In-Tend - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/manchesteruniversity Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
