The purpose of this exercise is to explore the market for suitably experienced potential suppliers of software solutions for institutions delivering Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programmes and/or Work-based learning with professional practice placements for their students. The solution should be easy to use; enabling students, school-based mentors, and University staff to record and track engagement with the ITE curriculum and progress during their programme. Through this Early Market Engagement exercise, we would like to invite suppliers to provide an indicative quotation and summary of their relevant experience in this field. The University may subsequently seek to invite potential providers to an Engagement Meeting which will be an opportunity for the selected Bidder(s)to meet with key project stakeholders in order to further showcase their product/services and evidence implementation with current, relevant customers. Details of the content required will be provided within the invite should you be invited. It should be noted that the University is particularly interested in potential providers who can demonstrate similar implementations of comparable scale and complexity and in particular within the HE sector.
