## Summary

Sheffield Hallam University has awarded a contract for the procurement of a Learning Analytics software system. The award, announced on 14th July 2025, follows a direct procurement method, which was executed below the threshold without competition. The contract is aimed at enhancing student engagement, retention, and achievement by integrating data from various sources into a central Learning Data Hub. The system, provided as a SaaS solution, will be supported and maintained for two years from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2027. The software will be implemented in Sheffield, United Kingdom, within the region designated UKE32. JISC SERVICES LIMITED, a large-scale supplier located in Bristol, has been identified as the supplier for this project.

This contract offers substantial growth opportunities for firms specialising in educational software development, particularly those that provide comprehensive integration capabilities with existing platforms such as Blackboard and Dynamics. Businesses active in the educational technology sector, especially those capable of delivering predictive analytics services, stand to benefit significantly from such contracts. The project reflects an increasing demand for advanced data management systems in the education sector and could stimulate further innovation and expansion within similar enterprises.

## Notice

SHU wishes to procure a system that helps the university use data to improve student engagement, retention, and achievement. The system should bring together data from multiple sources into a central Learning Data Hub and apply predictive models to identify students at risk of disengagement or underperformance. It must also integrate with SHU systems (Blackboard, SITS, Alma, WiFi, and planned integrations with Echo360 and Dynamics) and be delivered as an ongoing SaaS solution with support and maintenance for a period of two years.
