## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is exploring a curriculum management system, classified as software and information technology goods (CPV 48000000). It anticipates a single integrated, self-service solution for academic staff, professional staff and students. The system would support curriculum management across the University’s education activities, with the detailed scope and delivery approach to be informed through engagement with suppliers. The buying organisation is the University of Edinburgh, based in Edinburgh, and the requirement is associated with its operations there. This is a technology solution rather than a general education service: relevant businesses are suppliers of curriculum, course, academic administration or higher-education management platforms, particularly those able to integrate services for different user groups within one system.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender or a commitment to buy. The University is seeking information on current and emerging supplier capabilities, available technologies and possible delivery approaches to inform strategic planning and any future procurement strategy. Participation is voluntary and suppliers are expected to take part at their own cost. If the requirement proceeds, the University anticipates that a procurement could take place within 12 to 18 months. A future notice is currently anticipated for 1 October 2027. The planned requirement is presented as a single lot. No contract value, budget, tender procedure, award method or bid deadline has been set out at this stage.

This engagement will suit established curriculum-management and higher-education software providers, as well as emerging suppliers with relevant products or delivery models. Businesses should be able to explain how their technology supports academic and professional staff and students through one integrated self-service system. Useful preparation will include evidence of current product capability, integration with university systems, user access and workflow design, implementation options and ongoing service delivery. Suppliers with experience of education-sector transformation or complex institutional software deployments are likely to be well placed to contribute meaningfully. The University has expressly welcomed participation from all interested suppliers, but engagement will not create an advantage or disadvantage in any later procurement, so responses should focus on accurately describing capability and delivery approaches.
