## Summary

The ongoing tender titled "The provision of Digital Assessment Software" is being conducted by Birmingham City University, located in Birmingham, UK. This procurement falls under the educational software category and is valued at £550,000. The tender is presently in the active stage, with a submission deadline set for 18th June 2021.

The contract entails a dual model for digital assessments to facilitate both remote and on-campus examinations, reflecting adaptations made due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in educational technology, software development, and digital assessment solutions. Businesses that can provide high-quality software services for exam facilitation, remote invigilation, and technical support are particularly well-suited to compete.

## 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.
