## Summary

The University of the West of England, represented by HE Portal, is conducting a public procurement process titled "015/2021 Online Collaborative Spaces". This initiative falls under the IT software package category, specifically focusing on software-related services. The tender is currently in the active stage and will close on 4th August 2021, at which point proposals must be submitted. The contract will commence on 30th August 2021 and will span three years, concluding on 29th August 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing any interested parties to compete for this opportunity, with an estimated contract value of £60,000. The project aims to enhance remote collaboration among students, staff, and guests at the university.

This tender presents significant opportunities for software developers and IT service providers, particularly those adept in creating collaborative platforms and educational tools. Businesses that specialise in innovative IT solutions catering to educational institutions or remote collaboration technologies would be particularly well-suited to submit proposals. The active involvement of SMEs is encouraged, as noted in the eligibility criteria, allowing for a diverse range of participants to engage in this promising procurement process.

## Notice

The University is looking to procure a tool that serves as a shared visual space, where students, staff and guests can share, discuss, and collaborate on ideas. The essential paradigm is a shared whiteboard. The tool will be used by students and staff across the institution, including creative disciplines, architecture, and internal project management. Over the last 18 months our approach to learning and teaching has become much more flexible, with students and staff interacting and collaborating remotely, and we expect this to continue even when most students and staff are able to come together on campus.
