## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is exploring a student record platform and related student record system capabilities. The intended solution should integrate with the University’s existing technology landscape and could help rationalise and simplify a complex current environment. Areas of interest include exceptional circumstances, scholarships, assessment and progression, with the aim of providing a more streamlined and effective service. This is a technology supply opportunity for providers of student information and records platforms, implementation services and associated integration capability. Delivery would be for the University of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, supporting its institutional student administration and related processes. The requirement is being considered as part of longer-term planning around the University’s existing student record arrangements.

This process is at the planning stage and is preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender or a commitment to buy. The University is seeking supplier information on current and emerging products, technologies, capabilities and delivery approaches to inform its business requirements, strategic planning and any future procurement strategy. Interested suppliers were invited to provide information voluntarily at their own cost by 12 noon BST on 4 September 2026. The University anticipates that a procurement, if taken forward, could take place within the next three to five years; an indicative future notice date is 1 August 2029. Responses will be reviewed to improve the University’s understanding of the market and possible solutions.

This engagement is likely to suit established student records and student information system providers, as well as technology businesses with strong higher-education administration, systems integration and implementation capabilities. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate how their platforms connect with existing institutional systems while reducing complexity across a live operating environment. Relevant experience is likely to include student case management, scholarships, assessment, progression and exceptional-circumstances workflows, together with reliable handling of institutional data and varied user needs. Businesses able to explain different delivery approaches, product roadmaps and options for streamlining services should be well placed to contribute. The early engagement gives potential suppliers scope to shape the University’s understanding of available solutions before any future procurement is developed.
