## Summary

The University of the Highlands and Islands has recently completed a procurement process for a new Careers Management System. The project, labelled "Careers Management System for the University of the Highlands and Islands," focuses on the education sector and is based in Inverness, UK. The open tender was initiated on 1 May 2018, with a submission deadline set for 31 May 2018. This procurement process aimed to replace the existing careers management system, ensuring it meets a comprehensive set of service needs, including guidance and event management. The awarded contract, valued at £46,670, was signed on 28 September 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT solutions, particularly those with expertise in careers management systems and integration with educational records. Companies that can demonstrate a track record in delivering similar systems, including a capacity for managing external communications related to graduate job placements, will be well-suited to participate. With a recurring contract potential of up to three additional years, businesses that can meet the required technical specifications and insurance levels stand to benefit from sustained engagement with the University as it seeks to enhance its services for students and graduates.
