This open tender is expected to close on 12th August 2019, with submissions to be made electronically via the Public Contracts Scotland website. The contract has a total value of £250,000 and will be delivered in Edinburgh, with bids subject to a validity period of 360 days. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in software as a service (SAAS) and educational technology solutions to make a meaningful impact. Companies with expertise in developing innovative applications that facilitate funding access and support for students facing obstacles in their studies would be particularly well-suited to participate in this procurement. Engaging in this challenge can not only expand business reach but also contribute positively to social equity in education. ## Notice Students and people preparing to study can often experience barriers throughout their studies which can divert attention from their academic work. For disadvantaged students with additional support needs, accessing the funding to which they are entitled is crucial and can be more challenging. How can technology be used to enable easier access to all available SAAS funding opportunities and reduce drop-out rates for disadvantaged groups?
