## Summary

The University of Aberdeen has successfully completed the award for the provision of Panopto software, which includes a software licence and ongoing maintenance support. This procurement was an open procedure under the goods category, and the award was finalised on 23 August 2017. The University, located in Aberdeen, UK, sought to enhance its lecture capture capabilities, with the initial pilot for this technology conducted in May 2016. The contract, valued at £188,850, falls under the education sector and is part of a framework relating to software license reselling.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in educational technology and software solutions, particularly those with experience in providing lecture capture systems. Companies that can offer robust support and maintenance services alongside their products would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. With the increasing adoption of technology within educational institutions, firms positioned within this niche can benefit from ongoing projects and innovations in learning environments.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In May 2016 The University invited software vendors to tender for a 12 month pilot for a lecture capture system. This pilot was part of a larger project with the aim of creating two learning spaces specifically tailored to flexible study through the use of technology and furniture, with the recording of multiple input devices and compatibility with technologies such as camera tracking. The University currently uses TechSmith Relay to provide Lecture Capture services to staff, students, and guests across the institution. The TechSmith lecture capture videos are managed by a cloud hosted streaming and storage service provided by Kaltura. Kaltura is also used to manage video content for the University's website. The bidding exercise conducted in 2016 to select Panopto for the pilot, and the subsequent evaluation of the pilot solution, has resulted in the University's desire to specify Panopto as the required solution going forward.
