The procurement process is currently active and involves the acquisition of an electronic system to support clinical assessments. The system aims to ensure compliance with General Medical Council requirements for assessments, improve quality, and enhance the student and examiner experience. The procurement has two lots: one for OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) assessments and another for ACC (Assessments of Clinical Competence) assessments. The University is seeking tenders from suppliers to provide solutions that meet specified criteria. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses offering software supply services to compete for contracts to supply systems for clinical assessments at the University of Southampton. Companies with experience in delivering similar solutions and meeting the mandatory requirements set out in the criteria are encouraged to participate. The University has provided detailed instructions for submission, and potential suppliers should adhere to the specified deadline for tender submission. Opportunities exist for suppliers to bid on one or both lots, with contracts being awarded based on the highest scoring tenderer for each lot. ## Notice This Tender opportunity is to procure an electronic system or systems to support our clinical assessments. As part of clinical practice, students must meet standards and pass exams to be able to practice after their degree is awarded. A new system is required to support these clinical assessments to ensure we will be unable to meet the necessary KPIs that the General Medical Council (GMC) will be introducing with the new Medical Licensing Assessment (MLA). ### Lot Information Lot 1: OSCE, Practical, Written and Anatomy Papers This Tender opportunity is to procure an electronic system or systems to support our clinical assessments.
