## Summary

Birmingham City University is currently in the tender stage of the procurement process for "The provision of Digital Assessment Software", classified under the educational software package industry category. The procurement aims to enhance digital exam facilitation that began in August 2019 and has evolved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The deadline for responding to this tender is not explicitly stated but parties interested should consult the provided links. The university is located at University House, Bartholomew Row, Birmingham, B5 5JU, United Kingdom, and for further details, individuals can contact David Melling via email at david.melling@bcu.ac.uk or by phone at +44 1213317677.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational technologies, particularly those specialising in software development, exam management systems, and remote invigilation solutions. Companies with a background in providing digital assessment tools tailored for higher education institutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The dual model of assessment highlighted also opens avenues for businesses that can offer innovative hardware or remote support services to enhance students' examination experiences.

## 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.
